Here's one way to extend your range up to a mile ( a bit of over kill): http://www.popsci.com/diy/article/2004-1...

With this one you don't have to make any mods, just plug it in: http://www.aircable.net/products/host-xr...

I don't think we need 30km range. Is there any solution to extend the range to, say, 20m? As with the OP, I'm happy to open up the Mac if necessary.

Update: Here's a more reasonable alternative (bonus: It works with iOS devices too): http://www.miccus.com/products/blubridge...
