You can add range extenders to the Cerbo. Getting compatible ones is the key, unless you know how to add drivers to the GX.

Often what we have found is extending the existing network is easier to bring an acces point closer to the GX location.

You can add dongles that have better reception to a cerbo, an extender is something else and are uniformly terrible.

Considering the Cerbo is sensitive to poor wifi, I would suggest a better plan of either getting a LAN cable to it, or placing another AP well within range.

Definitely also enable the auto reboot on comms lost in the cerbo VRM settings.
