[SOLVED] Is it possible to extend the range of a WI-FI....?

[Qube]

Guys i have a Nokia mobile with Wi-Fi...i use to Sream video from my PC...So basically the phone is transmitting the data and the PC is just receiving right??
1)So in order to get more range can i just open up the phone and find the Wi-Fi antenna and just extend the antenna and make it much longer...to increase the range...
Or
2)Or can i use a C class amplifier to amplify the signals transmitter from the phones antenna...
i need some suggestion,please help me

Just making an aerial longer won't work. Buy a WiFi repeater. I have a TP-LINK TL-WA730RE. Cheap and works well.

Basically I don't think so, both are involved, but most traffic is on phone side.
Try ac plugged laptop on desired range, if it's reception was good, maybe a directional antenna could solve your problem.
Because if your phone fails on that range while still laptop Wifi works quite well, that means your phone's wifi is not strong enough, you can not change that, so you need to strengthen reception amount.
This can be done by stronger antenna & more sensitive on reception or qualified antenna which lessens the noise received amount so SNR stays high, as result the receiver still may have a clear signal. so a directional antenna may work!
but personally I would stick with Wi-FI repeater, cause its much more reliable!

Can a WiFi repeater function like this,as shown in diagram....?

I don't know what your diagram is trying to show, but you would put your range extender near the limit of the range of the PCB WiFi coverage and then you would get a similar distance from that. The range extenders aren't usually higher power - they are simply repeaters.

SO basically a repeater is just similar to relay....
So how can i extend my PC WiFi so that it could reach a mobile WiFi\PC WiFi 500meters away from my PC.....?
i don't wanna use repeater as a relay ,i just need a point to point connection of 500meters between 1 Pc to Another..
Is there any other way...?
