Omnidirectional with Directional

I have a WRT54GS v5.1 router that is running 1.5.1 Linksys firmware which I intend to flash with the Mirco DD-WRT firmware in the future.

At the moment I have wireless access in all directions from the router in my house and I like that.

I'm also toying with the idea of also connecting another computer via wireless which is some distance away by using a much more directional aerial but I'd also like to still be able to get a connection anywhere in my house.

Is there some way of having an omnidirectional aerial with a more highly directional aerial with my setup? There are two omindirectional aerials on my router, what would happen if I just replaced one of them with a directional one?

TIA
