In my experience, WiFi extenders are garbage and have massive speed degradation. I have a similar issue with my house, where only one side has effective coverage.
What I did was run an Ethernet cable from the “out” port on my router through the ceiling and attic to the “internet” port on a secondary router on he other side of the house.
You could do the same by digging a shallow trench through the yard and running an Ethernet cable through joined pvc pipes. [Here] (https://www.amazon.com/200FT-Networking-Ethernet-Patch-Router/dp/B01GTKF8FG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=75Z0GO89GHQZ&keywords=200+ethernet+cable&qid=1567095010&s=gateway&sprefix=200’+ethernet%2Caps%2C234&sr=8-3) is a 200’ cable for $17.50. PVC pipes are also cheap, so we’re really not talking about a lot of money, or an incredible amount of skill required. The most expensive portion would be for a second router, but the connectivity can’t be beat.
Ethernet cables (Cat 5/5e/6/6a) can be run up to 100 meters (328 feet) without needing a switch or repeater, per their specification. You can sometimes buy pre-made cables in long lengths, anything longer than 100 feet usually requires you to make your own, or order a custom cable.
Edit: That said, looks like you can get a 200-foot Cat6 cable on Amazon for under $20.
Thanks yeah im in the process of buying this ethernet cable from amazon. Yes its a long ethernet cable because my fiber optic otn box which my modem is connected to is at the other side of the house and we cant really move it elsewhere.
I did test out my speeds with an ethernet cable I borrowed from a friend and it reaches to my advertised speeds, but for me Im mostly on wifi with my phone and laptop. Its ok if Idont reach the advertised speed with wifi but Im just looking for a way to at least push my speeds a little higher if possible?
Could always pull yourself, if you aren't comfortable with terminating they sell pre-made patch cables in as long as you can use. If you aren't comfortable going up in ceilings a simple wall conduit wouldn't look bad with only a couple runs.
Case in point, here's a 200 footer for $17
