Default Wifi

Alright, well I'm going to be going on vacation and I know the place I'm staying at has free wifi. I've been there before and my laptop can only pick up a 'Poor' signal.

I was wondering what would be the best way to go about picking up a better signal? The only thing between me and the router would be a wall and a bunch of trees (cabin in the forest).
