Besides Yagi, a few of the big companies (linksys, Dlink etc.) sell
outside mounted, antenna access points for situations such as yours.
There is also the possibility of using a couple of wireless repeaters
between the house and other building. One in the garage (which
simply must be plugged in and synced with house) and another within
the building.
At one time there were amplifiers (I think) that could be used to
amplify a wired signal. You simply plugged in the cable to one end
and another cable to the next and gave it power and it amplified the
signal for long distance.

Really? Best Buy isn't the answer to all my computer needs? I'm
shocked to hear that.
