That's actually no problem! You don't need to actually boost the transmission, you just need a better antennae for your receiver. You can buy wifi antennae which can pick up a wifi signal from very long distances, up to about 2 miles with some tech! Here's one of them.

If you also buy another wifi hotspot and hook it into the home network, and a second antenna, and hook the second antenna into the wifi hotspot's transmitter, and then aline both antennas dishes, you can get very very fast wifi through this method. That will also work better on days with say, rain or other atmospheric conditions that occlude signals. But it will work with just the one as well.

The process is basically easy as "Mount antenne to wall, attach antenne to USB wifi recever. Stick into usbport."
