Almost any AP (including the low-end consumer units) are able to go 2 miles with the right antenna, correct placement and a clear RF LOS. Change one of those factors, and no AP will do it all. If you are looking for a campus solution, you'll almost certainly need multiple APs, especially for laptop/PDA users without external antennae.
