Need 1 more unit on network 200' away How?

Good day, I am currently connected to "rural" radio freq Internet via a motorola Canopy 2400sm dish antenna which feeds indoors and hard wires to our "workstation" via Cat5e consisting of a Belkin wireless N+ router, Vonage voip phone device and desk top computer. A wireless laptop also floats around the house, The problem is our shop/garage acts as our buisness office for the time being and it is located in a seperate building 200' from the internet dish and 220' from the router and workstation, I want internet in there for a desktop computer... I Got clear line of sight and the option of overhead wiring is a possibility, What would be the best/ cheapest/easiest way to do that? I have read much on outdoor point to point antennas but the belkin router i just bought has to be litterally taken apart to connect (i think), FYI i have bulk cat5e and an extra wired router laying around, Can a guy just split (or whatever its called) the cat5e on my roof and run it to the shop with a spiltter or something? both connections must be used at same time but gaming or voip bandwith can be sacrificed. Cheers and thanks for any advice in advance

Personally, I'd just put a wireless bridge with a hi-gain directional antenna in the office building and point it at the home router. If you locate the home router near a facing Window, it should easily do the trick with an antenna like this. 24dB parabolic WiFi Antenna.
