6dB increase in antenna gain will yield a 2x increase in range.
12dB will result in 4x, 18dB will result in 8x.

Nope. You didn't bother to supply a maker or model number on the
phone, or indicate if you were planning on adding this antenna on the
hanset or the access point. If you're wi-fi phone doesn't have an
external antenna connector, you might try building a foil or sheet
metal reflector.
