Default Wireless NW Help

Can anyone advise how I can increase the power / range of my wireless connection?

e.g. is there a repeater or signal booster available that will do this? Any recommendations appreciated!

I want to be able to use my Laptop in the garden but get a very weak signal.

Cheers.
