Tried cisco, linksys, dlink and hills (small Aussie company) and they all suffer from interference and poor throughput. After some near customer loosing experiences I can now recommend http://www.teletronics.com/ And specifically the 5.4ghz stuff. I haven't used it up to 4miles but given how well it works at around 1-2km I would expect good results. The other trick is to get as much height as possible for the antennas as the ground is the source of reflections, interference and at that distance height is the only way to get line of sight. I'm talking 10-15m high pole/tower. I think teletronics have laser stuff too which is not cheap but works for one of my clients, again you need LOS and with laser fog was sometimes an issue. You get a garunteed 100 meg too.
