Re: [Help Me] Antennas suggestion

Sounds like you need a collinear array antenna. These have omni-directional patterns with higher gain.

3 dB = ~2x ERP over 1/4 wave stub.
6 dB = ~4x ERP
9 dB = ~8x ERP

Any antenna needs a good ground plane to be effective. Normal wireless antennas don't normally have associated ground planes... at least, not proper ones.

As Peter said, the higher the gain, the less signal to your lower floor.
