Ditch the crappy stock firmware and install tomato usb or dd-wrt so you can control the radio power levels. With the add on high gain antennas and a decent firmware, you should see a significant improvement. If that isn't sufficient and if your old router is compatible with tomato or dd-wrt you can install on it and set it up as an access point wired or wireless repeater. Wireless repeater will cut your bandwidth in half for wireless devices connected to it though.
