I'm trying to set up a long distance WiFi link (almost 17 miles) I have access to a tower in the middle. Could I use one of these on that tower to "repeat" my signal?

  Yes it does! Im doing exactly the same thing to relay signal from and to an AP on the upper east side NY City. I dont have line of sight and Im connecting to an AP about 6 blocks away using a Fab corp dish antenna. Wet 11 is pluged into my netgear AP with a cat5 cable and the relay works like a top. Fot the 17 miles you seek it may need some engineering on your part to go the distance but the principle works excelent. Although I dont need the range you do I am in about the most noisy (rf) place on the planet.
