For a few dollars more, you can get real commercial antennas. My
internet service comes to me via a 7 mile hop using a PCI card or
WGB external box running 100mw. Works great, giving me better than
1/3 T-1 connection. When I swing the antenna around, I see all of
my ISP's APs, including one 35 miles away in the next state. I've
got a few links if you need them. I just went through them and see
that some have changed, but there's lots of stuff out there for
WiFi. Your main worry is the antenna connector, if you are running
a PCMCIA card.
