Yes but antennas don't have "power" as such but rather take from one 
area to provide gain in another.

Pop to www.solwise.co.uk and have a mooch around on the wireless 
antennas page but you'll need a minimum of 6dB gain to roughly double 
your range and in doing so will remove the signal from other locations.

You'd probably get good results by just locating the router somewhere 
near the middle of the property instead of the usual corner where the 
phone/cable comes in.
