Sounds like you need to attach a directional antenna to one end or the
other, preferably at the mother-in-laws end. Unfortunatly neither end
supports detachable antennas.
I wonder if a passive repeater could be used. ie. at the mother-in-laws
point a high gain directional antenna at the router in the sister-in-laws
and couple it back-to-back with a semi-directional pointing at the PC.
It's a trick I've seen used to get UHF signals around building, don't
know how well it would work in the GHz range, but might be fun to
experiment with a couple of Pringles cans.
