If a cantenna won't help me at all, is there anything I do cheaply to get a better signal? Thanks for any help you can provide.
Depends. What kind of card do you have? Does it support an external antenna (Not being a dick here...you'd be surprised how many people don't quite get this and can't figure out why they can't hook an external up to their centrino)?

Also, one thing that is missing from your diagram is scale. I would assume that across the street like that is a short distance (espeicially since you are getting some signal without an external) but how far is it actually?
