If you can remove the antenna that is on the unit, you can purchase external antennas which come with come cable to relocating them further away. They use an SMA connector if memory serves me. You also could purchase an extender or repeater to retransmit the router's signal. You might find the antenna a lesser expense as a first shot at this. I recall I paid about $59 or so for mine and it gave me about 7Db gain for an omni-directional antenna.
