Increase cell phone hotspot range

[Deckdetail]

Hi
We live in an area with no Internet available. We are currently using a Motorola Bionic cell phone thru Verizon as a personal hotspot for our Internet. We get fair to good 4G coverage but the wifi signal does not make it out of the room the phone is in. Is there a way to increase the range of the personal hotspot signal?
Any help would be appreciated!

Set the phone on a shelf as high in the room as possible so the wifi can go as far as possible. Also, try connecting the charger to see if the wifi signal is boosted while on the charger.
