If you keep the repeater within the range of wifi router it will reflect that signal to other areas where signal strength is poor. Wifi repeaters are useful especially when your wireless router is in ground floor and you want to access signal in top floors.

3. Most of the routers comes with omni-directional antennas which spreads signals in all directions. You can replace it with a uni-directional antenna to get signals to a desired direction.

4. Aluminium foil can reflect your wifi signal. Instead of buying a omni-directional antenna you can cut an aluminium foil into a triangle shape and then cut one corner into oval shape. Place that foil behind the your router as shown in below pic.
