Wireless signal weak from access point to laptop cause of distance. Are there antennas, boosters for laptop?
Laptop / PC user tries to reach the free access point in the distance, the signal strength is weak (1-2 bars only), but want to increase capture range of the wireless adapter via an antenna, or some sort of booster-adapter to network signal as no control over the network signal, or distance from the access point (on sailboat in the marina). Can and / or how you can plug in an omni directional antenna to your computer and / or wireless adapter. Thanks

When I was in a big computer store, I saw products that claimed to boost the signal or relay it.
You might want to try looking for a wireless repeater. (Note: repeater not a range extender)
Here’s one that may work for you:

Wireless Repeater: A device that extends the range of a wireless network. The repeater is typically placed half way between the access point and the wireless computers and printers. It is a stand-alone device that only requires power and does not connect to the wired network.
