i want to add an antenna to my wireless network.i have a dlink di-614+ router and a dlink dwl-520+ pci card.the pc's are about 35 feet apart with a few walls in between.the link quality constantly bounces between 75 to 100%.i can not get the signal quality above 52%.my broadband connection is terrible.will adding an after market antenna give me a better signal?if it does who makes them?thanks.

adding an antenna will help but I'll suggest to try first to move that router a bit maybe you can get a better signal. Usually it helps if you put it higher.
