Yes. I try to avoid those apps as they usually don't do anything you can't do yourself using your phone or router's settings.

Yes, you have a few options. You should make sure your wi-fi router is up to date with updates, etc. (and you have a current model). You should also consider moving the router if possible to maximize coverage. If that doesn't work, you could get a Wi-Fi booster.

Signal Booster can help you gain signal strength and its a small thing that fits well.

Nope, I bought one by it seems not work for me. The signal is pretty weak.

Look this proposal, there is a huge number of amplifiers, I am sure you will be able to find the right thing

I use one of these to up my wi-fi signal: Amazon.com: Securifi Almond - (3 Minute Setup) Touchscreen Wireless Router / Range Extender: Computers & Accessories

There are also cheaper alternatives you don't need a port: Amazon.com: NETGEAR N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender - Wall Plug Version (WN3000RP): Electronics

(and even cheaper refurbs if you want to go that route)
