Using a bigger antenna wifi?
Iv got a desktop out in my shop that runs mint. Id like to be able to log on to my wifi signal in my house but I dont get a good enough signal(my shop is about 20 yards from my house). I bought an yagi antenna and hooked up the cable in the back and I dont any better signal with it than I do with the small one that came with the card. I bought the antenna off of ebay and there was some sort of usb powered booster in the picture that didnt come with it. Do I need that booster or is there a way to adjust the power to the antenna or am I SOL? Iv used the same antenna for a router setup I had and it worked well but Im unsure how to get it setup when just using the linksys psi card.

A better solution may be to get a repeater. I use a Linksys WRE54G that I snagged off Newegg for about 30 bucks. The beauty of that particular model is it doesn't have to be hardwired to the router to work.
