For signal power? You mean link speed?
Use a channel on 2.4GHz (if that's what you use), that isn't occupied by conflicting APs such as your neighbours. Then set the Channel Width to 40 MHz to get 300 Mbps N Wi-Fi.
Budget routers or low-end dual band routers usually aren't high powered.
You can tinker with the TX Power if you have a custom firmware and a really high-end router.
If that's all too complicated, just use Extenders. They will definitely boost signal coverage, but will take a dump on your link speed/signal quality.
