I need to bring my work campus wifi into my cabin. I have a desktop, tablet & PS3 and poor connection inside.

I know I need a outdoor antenna, the current solution in my head involves a USB antenna/wifi card hybrid then plug the ps3 into my PC and use ICS.

I'd rather have the antenna connected to a router then use wired connections to the router inside but I'm not sure if hardware for this configuration exists.

So in short what's the optimum setup for this dilemma, and hardware recommendations are greatly appreciated.

What is your budget? Can you mount an antenna on the outside of your cabin? Do you know what direction the Wifi is coming from?
A solution that works well in cases like this if you can mount something on the outside of the cabin and you know what direction the signal is comming from is this: http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-LOCOM2-US-NanoStation-loco-M2/dp/B004EGI3CI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409278784&sr=8-1&keywords=loco+m2
That will get the signal. Then if you need wifi in your cabin you will need an Ap or router to redistribute the signal. Here is n example if a simple, low cost wifi router: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LV0YPFE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=ESH21VESZ1JF&coliid=I1SJPK44XRGN1F
Together they are about $75
