I use a high power wifi booster along with a yagi antenna mounted in place of the original TV antenna - so it cranks up and down, and rotates.

Here's the antenna and booster.

I just cut off the existing TV antenna and bolted the yagi antenna to it. I ran the antenna wire down through a vent (same place as other wires were going) and there you go!

Keep in mind - of course - that there has to be free wifi within a few hundred feet for anything to work.
