Don’t think your Wi-Fi card cuts it? The Buffalo Wireless-G USB Adapter has a ultra high gain antenna that is designed to FIND you WiFi signal when you really need it. All you need to do is stick this HUGE antenna onto your laptop and this onmi-directional antenna will pick up the weakest of signals. Unfortunately Windows only and available at a price of $46.00.
If anyone that has this product has a mac it would be really nice to see if the built in drivers support the adaptor. The next question will be… will it work with KisMac (thx for the svn release btw, nice initiative!)
EDIT:
There’s this which is “certified”… but twice the price :/

If this thing really works, I’m in! My little card just doesn’t pick up my WAP upstairs in my old house…
