Does anyone have experience with (passively) amplifying WiFi signals on
the laptop side (the wireless hub is not accessible)? Is it at all
possible?

Hi, Hakan. usually a parabolic reflector is used at the AP, and a directional antenna is used at the client side (such as a cantenna). Anyway, you might want to check out the following couple of links:

http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template/
http://www.binarywolf.com/249/parabolic.htm

(The latter would be a bit unwieldy for a notebook computer!!!) :)

HTH

PS - Only experience I've had is with the first link. I did this for a client in Virginia, and it did indeed get enough shape to the signal that I was able to overcome an abstacle in the middle of the path (a refrigerator/freezer).
