Remote Desktop - pitfalls, shortcomings

I've managed to get this working with the computers in my Obs. It's 200 metres away from the house so I've put up a couple of grid-type dishes linked to the wireless router in the house and to a bridge and a 5-port switch in the Obs so I have both scopes (there are 2 piers in the obs and a scope on each) now accessible via Remote Desktop. But the weather hasn't been kind so I've yet to give it an 'under-the-sky- test.
So while I wait, I thought I might poll others with more experience in these areas than I (won't be hard) to see what the pitfalls are and identify any 'things-I wish-I knew-before-I-started'.
