====================
I would look into other types of antennas.... (good tutorial on the whole
subject too)
Check
http://www.radiolabs.com/Articles/wifi-antenna.html
They talk about all types, but especially check the part about
:
Parabolic or dish antennas
This is where the real power is! Parabolic dish antennas put out tremendous
gain but are a little hard to point and make a connection with. As the gain
of an antenna increases, the antenna's radiation pattern decreases until you
have a very little window to point or aim your dish correctly. Dish antennas
are almost always used for a point to point system for long haul systems.
The Parabolic Dish antennas work by focusing the power to a central point
and beaming the radio's signal to a specific area, kind of like the
adjustable reflector on a flashlight. These antennas are highly focused and
are the perfect tool if you want to send your signal a very long distance.
To calculate the distance of your WiFi...... <-- on the actual web page
there is a button to push for the calculator
Fraid I can't give you any links to buy in your area, my suppliers can only
sell/ship in the US, best I can say is read the article at the link above,
try the calculator thing, see what would work for you, and then see who can
sell that in your area.
