You may have to relocate the router if possible, the fewer obstacles there are the better.
If the router is older, upgrading to a 802.11ac router usually works better.
Ultimately, with longer distances it may be necessary to setup a wireless point-to-point bridge, however that requires some setup/knowledge/money.

To start with the simpler solutions, I'd look into what can be improved about the current router as far as location/obstacles between it and the client.
What are the models of the router/client, what speeds/standards do they support ?
What speeds are you getting when close to the router, vs. when at the destination ?

What about using extenders similar to a radio repeater? Might have some degradation on signal?

Residential Wireless Repeaters/Extenders use the same radio to communicate with both the main router and clients, reducing the wireless speed in half, and repeating a lot of unnecessary traffic, introducing noise. The speed over an extender is typically less than 50% of the normal WiFi speed, (and it is reduced by half with each hop), that's why we try to avoid them when possible. Alternatives include Access points, p2p bridges, and mesh wireless.
