Anyone knoe where I can buy one or something similar?

What kind of range are you looking for ?

Anything that gives me 500mW over 802.11b/g Wireless Networks

unless you are living in a castle or a metal cage, do you really need high gain signal booster?

you defo can get hawking product in SLS. a friend of mine got his there. alternatively, have to look into ethernet over powerline. (http://netgear.com/Products/PowerlineNe ... px?for=All)

No not a castle (yet

Good man, I like your thinking. In case of emergency you can always try v-post and buy on amazon.com and then get it shipped through the US. Worked well for me. As mentioned it is only a last resort though as it is a bit pricey.
