There are a few things you can try to extend your wifi signal.
If the antenna of the router is removable, then you might want to look at antennas with a higher gain, keep in mind they must have the same type of connector as your router. If your antenna is not removable, or this doesn’t get you the range you need, then you may want to look into a wireless repeater, this you need to just place at the edge of where your wifi connection drops off, and it will extend the signal by rebroadcasting it.
The router signal can be weakened by just one wall. If it is a concrete or stone wall there is no hope. However if you buy a wifi adapter that has an external antenna and also buy a ‘high gain’ antenna you can probably get good results. That’s how I resolved that in my home. The maker I found that worked was Hawking:
and
Most computer stores similar things.
theres alot of options to solve that problem. like buying a new wireless router with a strong signal or buy a new wireless adapter of your pc with a strong signal or move your computer on near to the wireless router.
