Mike Outmesguine’s Solar-powered Wi-Fi extender in the latest issue of Popular Science – “The promise of Wi-Fi is freedom–the ability to bring your laptop or PDA away from the anchor that is your desk and into your life. With most wireless routers, however, your life had better stop at around 300 feet, and forget about heading outside.

So I built a box that can pick up that signal and boost it another 200 to 300 feet.” – Link.
