Return the D-link antenna, adding an adapter would pretty much lose any of the additional gain that the new antenna would provide.

The cheapest solution would be to get the right antenna, the $30.

Adding another AP to the linksys will also work, but it needs to be an access point or a wireless router configured as an access point. You can configure it for roaming by setting the AP to the same SSID and channel as the linksys. Typically, you will have to set a static IP for the wireless router or AP. There should be at least 30% overlap in the area covered by the access points. Connect use the lan ports on the linksys to connect to a lan port on wireless router (Netgear), if you use a pure AP then this isn't an option.

Search for "roaming" and you'll see my thread on this.
