I don't think I would need the router as I am not really concerned with WIFI. But if I may ask I looked on that page at the antennas and which one did you get? How much of a difference did it make for you? I was thinking of maybe buying the Wilson RV/Truck/roof antenna. I just know my wife will kill me if I buy something for the internet and it don't work. But I think even a slight boost will help a lot since Im right on the fringe.
