What are the external parameters? What are you attempting to connect - what is the distance, environment, ...?

You can do a search on Goggle for "2.4 ghz wireless 802.11b" and come up with a list of companies selling different products.

Or you can try this Homemade antenna at Wireless.gumph.org

Im in a building and receiving a signal from another apartment, but the signal is only strong enough to enter the closest room. If I take my laptop out of the room, the signal is too poor to maintain a connection. I want to boost that signal so I can bring my laptop in other rooms.
