There’s a hot water heater between my computer and the router, and it makes me have 1 bar of signal. I’ve a lot of good luck with the D-Link 7dbi omni-directional wireless..i end up with 4-5 bars on most days.
Do shop carefully. I tried two different models by major manufacturers and they made no difference at all.
MFJ Enterprises has a high gain Yagi - Does better than the Pringles Chip can (Which I’ve made before). The pringles can design is actually small in diameter for that frequency.
MFJ is run by Ham Radio people - that’s the kind that you want when it comes to antennas.
Here’s two places to get them:

You can put these in plastic containers outdoors to protect better from the elements.
