You can find signal repeaters. Same basic idea behind the wireless router but it picks up the signal and rebroadcasts it.
CLICK THIS TO SEE SOME ON GOOGLE (http://www.google.com/products?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=wifi+signal+repeater&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title)

Yeah, that's pretty much what your wireless card's antenna is.

You can use your router as a range extender.
Best to ask the questions prior to purchase. It can't magically give you more bandwidth from people downloading, it will simply make the wireless signal stronger

I saw a good video on how to make a super antenna. (http://junkpedia.com/2008/01/23/how-to-build-a-16-dbi-wifi-super-antenna-under-10/) It looks pretty easy.

Very cool. Nice directional antenna. If you build this pay attention to the bit where he says to run the wire along the surface of the brass plate for 30 mm at 1mm height insulated before heading up into the coil.
Let us know how you make out.
