Hi

Well, 100ft is quite a distance if there are objects like walls between the two, so you are bound to lose and especially limit your connection when compared with a wired connection. For perfect uninterrupted connectivity, I'm not a fan of wireless.

How fast is your connection and are you capped by the ISP or bandwidth limited that you know of at peak times?

Hawking Tech has a number of products that will help you increase your wireless range. The root page is Hawking Hi-Gain™ WiFi Range Extending Products.

Some of the more interesting products are this Hawking [HSB2] Hi-Gain WiFi Signal Booster, which can be used on either end of a wireless connection to boost the signal power.

Another way to increase your signal strength is by the use of hi-gain antennas. You can choose from omni-directional or directional models, here are a couple of examples.

Hawking [HAI15SC] Hi-Gain 15dBi Corner Antenna

LabBlue12: ISP account details you'll have to contact and query the ISP about. I suspect you need signal boosters like Johnwill mentioned above.
