Possible to use Omni-Directional Antenna to boost WiFi?

I'm looking to boost my Wi-Fi signal on a budget. On top of my travel trailer I already have a Magnadyne Omni-Directional Amplified AM/FM TV Antenna. http://www.magnadyne.com/catalog/part.cfm?PID...

antennas are designed to work with specific frequency bands. your am/fm TV antenna is designed for frequencies requiring a license to operate within. WiFi uses "public" frequencies requiring no license, typically either 2.4GHz or 5 GHz freq bands. So, the short answer is no, your TV antenna won't help with wifi signals.
