Remember that antenna gain is bidirectional. Not only transmitting more
selectively but receiving as well (look at a satellite TV dish - that's
receive-only)

I'd also caution that, even with detachable antennas, different routers
have different antenna connectors. Google is your friend! To simplify,
you can usually get an antenna with an 'N' connector - and then it's
just a matter of finding an adapter (under $10, usually about $4) to go
to your router.
