I've been running a WiFi Signal Booster on my laptop for many years now. Mine is rated @ 1/2 mile, LOS capable. I use it both at home and when away from my homebase. Although it works OK, unless you're right on top of the WiFi signal DVR, you'll still get skip in the continuity of the signal. There are much more sophisticated systems on the market today that actually can lock on to a WiFi signal. That's what you want to get.
