adding a longer aerial (ebay £10) increase the range noticeably? or is

No, you can get up to 300 meters or more with a good aerial and line of
sight..
You might guv .. you won't all be able to do that like here, as theres
too much 2.4 GHz being used. A local, and were not in that densely
populated area, netstumbler scan shows up most every other house has a
wi-fi point now;!..
