Try specialized tools to improve signal quality without all this stuff :). It brings full characteristics about surrounding networks and signal, so you adjust your router, or network card parameters. In my case the most significant thing was actually used channel, Windows not provides this info. I? was used Maxidix Wifi Suite.

The basic idea is interesting. Knowing the basics, it's not all that difficult to start "from scratch" and make your own reflector. It can be a segment of a circle as well as a parabola. The circle isn't quite as "accurate" but it's a lot easier to draw. ? The antenna post is positioned half the radiius from the center of the reflector. The total solution is to get a USB extender and put the antenna and reflector on your roof. If you have an antenna rotator, mount it on that.
