Hi,
Extending your wifi range is pretty easy. First; i guess that you want to get some wifi to a remote location to use your phone/laptop at this location.
Here are your option:
1: boost the signal from your router by tweaking its setting at maximum power ( its usually set a half by default)
2: buy a repeater that ( like the name suggest) repeat your wifi signal. this is not a good idea if your remote location is outside.
3: Antenna. If you cant make the signal of your access point (ie: router) stronger, just get a good antenna for your laptop. ( check cantenna on google).
I hope you now have all the answer you need! good luck!
