Howdy,

Try using one of these:

The last one is what I have used for over FIVE MILES of reception using 
a regular D-Link DWL-900+ access point.

These things actually work and cost only a few Dollars.  The N-Connector 
and Reverse SMA adapter are the biggest expense- ten Dollars tops...

There are hundreds of sites with really good data.  Just Google away and 
you will be overwhelmed...

Enjoy
