Cantenna or any external antenna can help a good deal, but does your
internal card have any way to connect it? Probably not.

The wifi boosters are generally regarded as snake oil, but I haven't
personally tried one. The EE in me is dubious at best about them.

Purchasing a separate wifi card with an external antenna is one way to
go. But do you have control over the location of your access point?
External antennae for it may also help.
