A repeater will work wonders, see my source...
But you may want to think about how you're set up to begin with.
A. Check where the antenna is, is it behind a thick wall or walls with lots of wires or metal? If so, move it.
B. how does the antenna point? The signal comes off the antenna like a doghnut, it does not shoot out of the end, but from the middle outward. like so ((( | ))) not -- ))))) . Make sure to point the antennas up or down for the most part.
C. Update your firmware. Sometime you can adjust the output wattage from the wifi router.
Then buy a repeater, hawking makes good units at a good price.

Move it to a more central area or depending on the model you can buy a more powerful antenna
