You need a wireless amplifier of some sort or some kind of proximity amplifier. A Wilson Sleek is the simplest, about $130 mail order. Wilson also makes larger solutions that amplify multiple phones and aircards as explained here for both home and RV. http://maximumsignal.net/ also has good wireless setups including their new SCT model which a few advance users have including me.

Try a Wilson Sleek. Works wonders with a MiFi card, and your Droid will fit...

The Wilson Sleek is a popular option for people that want to improve connectivity at home or on the go. Rather than just purchasing a Sleek and hoping it works, I'd recommend doing a site survey first because this is a home location - How to do a site survey
Depending on the results you get, the Wilson Sleek may be a perfect solution or you might need something more powerful for your location.

I'm not sure if the Droid 2 has a RSSI menu system or not on it. You could check on the Android market place, I know they do offer some download applications you can use to check your signal levels.
If you can't find your specific signal levels you can take your phone and walk around the property taking notes of your signal bars. Let us know how many signal bars you get in and around the outside of the property. That will indicate how much signal is in the area and if an amplified solution will help you.
