I had the need of an amplified antenna too. Instead of what they told me, it
had to be attached _to the router_ (thus it worked), NOT to the wireless NIC
(did not work this way).
The antenna is a Netgear ANT2405; all the equipment is Netgear.

That's a two-floor distance? In my house I used a Netgear +5db antenna, just
good enough for the signal to climb up one floor... It could be enough if
you could place the router about mid-way between the two PC. Otherwise, +5db
might be too weak, depending on the thickness of the walls, ceilings... It
would be useful to test (maybe with a wireless laptop?)

One last surprise I had with my antenna: it just could not be used without a
cable (optional, of course), otherwise I was left with two male SMA
connectors facing each other -- this is smart from Netgear...
