Not real likely to work. The extender must be able to receive a strong signal and then send it back out. In general you would need to put it half way between your house and the neighbor. Putting in in your house the extender will get a crap signal level and then transmit out copy of the crappy data and in the process actually degrade the signal even more since it transmits on the same exact frequencies.

In most cases to get this to work you need directional bridge equipment. Many times you need the directional bridges on both sides.

You can look at equipment from ubiquiti to do this but at some point you have to ask is the complexity involved really worth it instead of just buying your own internet connection.

Can i then use a wifi adapter with directional antenna. Because i am getting a good signal with my laptop. Right now i am catching signal with my laptop and using hotspot to share with my phone.
I mean when Laptop can catch the signal then the wifi extender should too.
Thanks

Maybe but it is not cost effective to use that method. The Outdoor bridge unit costs about the same as just the antenna and you do not have buy the expensive microwave cable or get all the special antenna connectors.

What you could do is use a bridge and connect it to a old router being used as a AP. You are in effect building your own repeater.

Something like a ubiquiti nano station m2 which you can get for under $50 likely will work fine at those distances.

Note if you are need to run on the 5g band you will need a m5. These devices do not run on both 2.4 and 5 you have to pick. They make dual band things but they are much more expensive.

I am very thankful for your help.
But as much as i know for Bridged connection i need to install a device. I forgot to say that this is my neighbours wifi so i cant install any bridges. And also i am using the wifi only on holidays so its not constant. If you have a another solution that doesn't evolve installing something by my neighbour that would be great.
Thank you very much for your Time.
