With something like this

To connect to a Wi-Fi source approximately 200 feet away.

I would like to do something similar to this but would less components since I will only be using 2.4 WiFi (PS3 PS4 couple of tablets and some cell phones)

For $35, you'll likely be able to find a decent wifi connection if you get a USB wifi adapter and a yagi antenna...and you might not even need the external antenna.

Also, CenturyLink seems to be overwhelmed right now as I've noticed my neighbors complaining about it taking 2-3 weeks to have their land lines repaired as existing customers. I'm not sure if this is due to the holiday or they're rolling out a ton of new gigabit ethernet subscribers and their techs are just that swamped. It seems trivial to turn up or troubleshoot locations with previous or existing service when compared to a new install, so it doesn't make much sense to me.

If space isn't an issue then you should get yourself one of these bad boys and point it from your room to your router. This is a powerful and very directional antenna. Also, if your internet ever goes out you could point it to your neighbors and steal it from them. This antenna would get you about 1/2 mile of range.
