"No signal" is hard to measure or improve.  I have no signal from my home
wireless when I am at work.  That would be hard to boost enough to make it
work.

"low signal" can be improved quite nicely for free.

http://www.freeantennas.com  EZ-12, printed on photo paper for thick stock,
with aluminum foil glued to the sail, provides a substantial boost in
signal.  http://www.rahul.net/dold/clarence/EZ12-windsurfer.jpg
http://www.rahul.net/dold/clarence/windsurfer-dining.JPG The signal with
the reflector is not only 13dB stronger, it's more stable.

I use a glue stick to glue the foil to the paper before I cut out the
template.  When you cut out the "windsurfer" part, leave the tabs sticking
out farther than the drawing shows.  I spend more time trying to tape the
little tabs in place than anything else.
