    The specs only give transmission power (800 mW) but no indication of receive gain but i would assume it would be more sensitive.
    At that price, it would be worth a try.

    I've used boosters (not the same thing, I know) with good results.

    It might help if you told us where the car is relative to the router?

    Ah no, its nothing to do with the car at all sorry.
    I was just using it as an example
    I mean like if I go 100 metres down the road with my laptop and can't get a wireless signal, if I plug this device in, does it have a wider search facility as in it can "search" for further distances

    Dunno what the chipset is or gain on antenna, so my answer is: Dunno.
