Although I haven't done any myself I've personally seen a setup which transmits over a couple of miles. The aerials involved are not cheap. Neither is the special low-loss cable if you want to put the hi-gain aerial more than a metre away from the transmitter or receiver.
No personal experience but I've seen adverts for Hawking Technology and their products _http://www.hawkingtech.com
You have to be sure that the originals aerials are removable as well. They often are from routers (but not always - check). Less likely are the aerials on the adaptors on computers. Incidentally there are 2 types of plug on removable aerials TNC and SMA, again check which type you have
Just rummaged aroung on Hawking's site - this looks promising _http://www.hawkingtech.com/products/productlist.php?CatID=32&FamID=60&ProdID=377
