Sorry for the late entry.

A great way of extending any network where you cannot lie cable is powerline.
Draytek doesn't make powerline devices, check http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=tl-pa6010

Else check Amped Wireless (http://www.ampedwireless.com) they specialise in WiFi range (power output is restricted by law).
As previously mentioned, a high gain aerial does not give more power, it just focuses the signal.

PS: There is this excellent article by Cisco about aerials:
