If you need commercial POWER, then you'll need bigger antennas, not just new firmware. If you need commercial grade FEATURES, then just get any DD-WRT compatible router, and go with that.
One of these with a couple of high gain antennas?

Might set you back a grand but I don't think you'll have any problems with getting a good signal.

If the PC you want to stream to is just on the other side of the wall and if it's not too hard to get through, why not just bust a hole in the wall and hardwire it? No matter how good the gear you get, a hardwire connection will always be better than any wireless connection. Buy a few keystone RJ45 jacks to make it look nicer.
