Hi MistyD,

You could try a Wireless Repeater device. I suggest a D'Link wireless repeater. Don't worry about the price, since they do their duty as wel as possible, so go for the cheaper one.

Have a nice day

You can eat some chips while pondering what to do.
After that you can try one of the solutions below.

Or buy another better antenna.
The idea with the repeater is nice, but it'll have to be powered and in the range of the WiFi, so you'll have to convince a neighbour that receives the signal to put the repeater in his house 🙁
