The "booster" ( I think you are referring to a range extender) would work but you need router access to set up the range extender.

Plus the performance is likely to be very slow.

If you know the wireless password then you must know the wireless router's admin person.

Work with that person to see if you can set up a range extender.

Do recommend that you visit the following link within this forum:

Just to be sure that I have understood the situation correctly and that you can clarify to correct as necessry.
