The signal strength is not strong enough?

If you and your neighbors set WiFi to the same channel, they can interfere with each other. It is best to choose channel 1, 6 or 11. These do not overlap and therefore disturb each other as little as possible. You can use various apps to see which networks are active in your area, in order to choose the best channel for your own WiFi.
It is best to choose a WiFi scanner on a smartphone, so that you can measure WiFi activity in all places where you want to use WiFi.
