Add an external antenna for your wireless LAN card and your router.

Do a Google search and you'll find plenty of resources on how-to build them.

It's not rocket science either.

I guess I don't understand. If you want to extend the distance of your wireless router, add a bigger antenna to it. No need to add one to your LAN card.
