External Wireless Antenna Extension worth it?

[Dannyboyayyo]

My wireless doesnt maintain a steady signal, it jumps around from 54 to 48 to 36 etc so i was thinking about getting this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16833147115

Will it really boost the signal strength? are there any drawbacks? Are there better ones out there for cheap?

is the signal weak, or dirty.

It may help, but it's different for every situation, so there is no clear cut YES or NO.
