I do not know the output of the gear you are using, but with a 0 gain antenna, 100mW should get you over 300 feet line of sight at 2.4GHz.
With a higher gain antenna, your distance will increase. Each 6dBi of gain will double your distance.
An antenna allows your system to 'shout' as well as 'listen'. An amplifier only works for 'shouting'. An amp on one side is generally not a great solution.
You mention that the antenna is directional. I assume it is adding gain then, and likely 6 dBi per side at least. I would try it without the amplifier.
