I don't know much about electronics, so any advice would help.

I'm also interested in knowing realistically what the upper limits are for this sort of thing.

If a Pi Zero-W: https://hackaday.com/2017/03/07/adding-an-external-antenna-to-the-raspberry-pi-zero-w/

All the other models, you can add a USB-based adapter with their own antennas. For really long range, look up Yagi antennas. However, beware there are regulations on antennas.
