This is a firmware upgrade that will chnage your Linksys Router into a Wireless repeater without having to use WDS.

I've not tried it yet so try at your own discretion... But it looks like a great idea! Hook an amp and external antenna to the router and suddenly it's looking for the strongest WAP signal to amplify and repeat.

Is there any kind of external antenna one could buy to use with that? I am looking to try this in my car to stop for quick, but fast data connection to get data from something other than the cell phone.

External Antenna

I actually have an external outdoor antenna on the back of my vehicle rather than a whip WiFi one. You might try http://www.radiolabs.com/products/cables/cable.php and see if you can convert from one connector to another.
