how to make public wifi stronger for iphone?

Update:

when we go out of of town the place we stay has a better signal than my wifi, but its not so great- I need it to work for emergency purposes at home and its quite spotty- is there a way to get a booster or antenna with out connecting to a router to make it stronger?

    If you are talking about WiFi, then presumably you are interested in Internet access rather than speech or text messaging.

    When you say "I need it to work for emergency purposes at home" I would have expected to use a landline based Internet service and a PC connected by Ethernet not WiFi. I am surprised you are relying on a cell phone for emergency purposes. When I was doing emergency support work from home before I retired, my landline ISP and Ethernet from my router was by far the best solution.

    I hope this helps.

    You can't really do anything to make it faster if you don't have access to the router.

    Pay more in taxes, so the provider can increase their offerings.
