Your best bet would be to have a external High Gain Beam antenna.

Yes of course, there is such a thing as a booster! The function of the booster is to add additional power to the output signal of your WiFi access point or client (pci, USB etc).

Don't mistake a booster for an antenna. Antennae don't add any additional power, they just shape the output signal in a specific pattern so that performance is better in a particular direction.

Check out our boosters at http://www.confero24.com/index.php?cName=500mw-boosters

Feel free to email me directly, in case I miss reading this post in future.
