I'm pretty sure that is not possible. You could use a WIFI repeater. Ethernet cables can be 100 meters in length with losing signal quality, so you could just get a long cable.
It's probably easiest if I just post some links:

There will be other solutions that I haven't thought about too. Also you might be able to change settings on the router to help with range, like maybe the channel, 2.4ghz and 5ghz. A custom firmware might give you better/more router settings. * +

Get a better antenna for your Wi-Fi router, they are not that expensive on Amazon, that's if you know what kind of connector it has. You can also buy a USB Wi-Fi adapter for your computer which will improve the signal. And you could use it to set up an AP to increase coverage throughout your residence.
When it comes to cheap and good Wi-Fi antennas and USB adapters, Alfa Networks does the job. (Okay) * +
