AirPort Booster??

I'm doing some work @ my Aunts home. She has an AirPort in her home. They built a separate home on the property about 150 feet away. I moved the airport in the old home to the top floor and placed it by a window closest to the new home. The signal sometimes work but usually not. And when it does it very poor.

My question is this. Is their a wireless booster that will cover that range well. I'd rather have overkill, opposed to it should be sufficient. I would also prefer not to have to place the unit in the window. I would even toy with mounting an external antenna on the roof or side of the house. If you have an answer please attach a link with more information.

The Airport must be kept in the old home. It’s still used. Also I have no idea the exact model # of the Airport.

Thanks
Jim

If your Airport has an antenna port, you could use something like this;

booster

Thanks, I had seen this when searching answers myself. I was just unsure if it worked. I hate taking the word of a seller or manufacture. I find they are un-truthfull sometimes.
