it depends on router if it has detachable antennas.you can buy more powerful 8dBi antennas to replace stock 3/5dBi antennas to increase range.

Use aluminium foils/cans if you on low budget. I have heard that it works quite well for concentrating signals in a particular zone.
O/w you can mod your router to use powerful antennas.

You also get wifi repeaters which you can plug in to wall outlet and they will sort of boost the connection (repeat right?).
