I have been using a Hawkins long range external Wi-Fi that is not nearly as good looking as what you have now. It looks more like a cell phone, and is directional, so if you have a general idea of the direction that the signal is coming from, it gets much stronger as you zoom in on it.
Also because it plugs into a USB port, with a couple of 6' long USB extension cords, I was able to put it inside a baggy, and on the roof next to the refrigerator vent, going over a bunch of RV's from mine to Firedude receiver some 700 feet away. He had a satellite dish and Wi-Fi for free to those who got the password. . .
Good luck,
Fred.
