There are a couple of good range extenders on the market but it's never occurred to me to take one with me. I use a Netgear 802.11n ranger extender at home that, now that I think about it, is pretty portable -- it plugs directly into a wall outlet -- no brick and no cable. Configuring it for an "alien" network might be a little tricky, though, as all of the devices downstream of the extender showing up as clients on my primary router's DHCP list.
