Moral/Ethical issues aside - Purely from a technical standpoint.
I am amazed at how many unsecured wifi signals I recieve in the city. Unfortuantely, all of them are only at 1 bar signal strength and though I can connect there is not enough signal too receive data. I have both a laptop and a desktop PC. I am wondering if there is some sort of Access point signal amplifier that could take a WiFi signal and amplify it or even just some sort of repeater that would just pass the WiFi signal.
One of my co-workers informed me of this, which I'm investigating further.

Does anyone know of any WiFi cards that have an external jack for an additional external antennae for both laptop or desktop?
Does anyone know of a particular access point that would amplify or repeat the signal?
