Wifi Extender for Optimum Wifi?

Antenna?

Is that something I can just buy to bring the wifi closer to my house even though I don't pay for optimum?

I have that. But due to the new 5.8 it's not getting into my home as it used to only a little outside. My question is if there is any way to bring it closer?

If he only uses one PC I'd go with a long-range antenna or his PC. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0038Q4AIG/

Will the long range antenna make my laptop work with 5.8?

If the issue is that the 5.8 is out of range then it definitly should, even if your laptop generally can't connect to 5.8 the antenna should also do the trick being that it's like a new wifi card.. this is all assuming the antenna can connect to 5.8...

The aforementioned Alfa antenna that I linked is only 2.4, so make sure to buy one that does have 5. There are some from Alfa.

Windows 10 (latest versions) has a Mobile Hotspot feature, look for it in settings. For older Windows, there are software to do it.
