Boost Reception for a Remote Laptop

Any ideas on how to boost a marginal reception for a Laptop with a
wireless lid antenna receiving from a standard D-Link G Router.
It is an internal antenna in the lid of the laptop.
I have suggested to the person that he make some type of a simple
reflective antenna to focus the signal but he seems to be resistant to
this .
Any ideas or recommendations ?
