That yagi on ebay looks interesting at that price.

The medion wifi repeater doesn't work all that well at all.
Works fine when its working, but keeps dropping the
output to close to zero and a power off restart fixes
that. The problem is that it can need that a couple of
times a day. I should really use one of those ubiquity
access points. Just havent got around to deciding
which one to go for.
