In some wireless LAN device, they have a router function included (ie Linksys : http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=35&prid=544), but if you already have a wireless LAN device not included router, you can use a broadband router, a small box that have a capability to routing your IP.

One of the example is from Compex; http://www.cpx.com/products.asp?c=Wireless%20Products&d=&page=4 Antenna with 5dB gain.
But you can find in the shop that specially selling a wireless LAN device. A lot of antenna type and connectors on http://www.hyperlinktech.com/web/antennas_2400.php - the important things is your connector has to be match with the antenna connector.

If you have a connector on AirPort card, you can attach the antenna that offer by Compex, because the antenna is a standard.
