Weak wi-fi signal

My Comcast modem/router works well except when my computer is in the rear of the house. It's probably the distance and a cinder block wall that's causing the problem. Is there such a thing as a signal booster of some sort that will get the wi-fi signal up and around the problem?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

I know you do not have an apple airport device, but, This is most likely the case with weak wifi signals.

I would also recommend a

Netgear Universal Wireless Extender - White (WN3000RP). about 40-60 dollars but they work


I would also first try moving the router away from the cider block wall first and see how the wifi does.
