I don't know much about electronics, so any advice would help.

I'm also interested in knowing realistically what the upper limits are for this sort of thing.

Why not buy an external wifi adapter with a large antenna? Would be a lot simpler.

I agree with this. And also, if the highest range is your goal, you'll want a directional (not omni-directional) antenna. Even a cantenna might be good for your use case.
