If you're using a patch or puck antenna, putting a ground plane under it 
can work wonders (I've seen 15dB gain in one particular case).  I've 
been using larger cans to stick the magnetic pucks on, but a piece of 
aluminum foil is OK as well.  If you can get hold of a datasheet for the 
antenna, it could have some information on how the directivity of the 
antenna changes with the diameter of the ground plane, which can be 
useful if you have problems with reflections from low angles.
