That's another possibility. But which ones *really* work? There's lots and lots of antennas out there and they're trying to avoid buying one of everything on the market. Most of what we've seen in the various computer stores are the smaller antennas to boost signal strength across the house and not across the great expanses of the outside world.
Yeah, well, you are not going top find such directional antennas at your local Best Buy store. They are generally available from a number of sites on the internet. These are high gain antennas of the yagi, dish and planar design. As the 802.11n system provides for both 2.4 and 5 GHz operation, either of those options are available.
Some folks build their own. See this site for a bit of info on detection ranges available with such highly directional antennas.
