I did get a longer antenna for the Linksys WRT54GL WiFi router.
I also tried to set up a WiFi repeater (SilverCrest SWR 300 a1)
but could not get it working under Fedora or Windows.
I have thought of using a TP-Link which is set up on my system.
I tried a wireless repeater a few years ago. Complete waste of money,
despite being a reputable brand (Linksys). Also, repeaters reduce your
wireless bandwidth by about 50% IIRC. A much better solution is to use a
pair of power-line adaptors. Modern ones use the IEEE 1901 standard
(known as Homeplug), are available from several manufacturers and have
good performance.
