Computer Modem/ Range Extender

Folks, my parents, who arn't the most computer savvy are having some issues and thought there would be some solid "USER FRIENDLY' advice...for those of us that are also the way of the parents. Moms laptop has problems holding the signal from the wireless modem, that is supplied by ATT. Brought it back to where it was purchased to have the laptop checked out and was found to be operating correctly but suggested to call ATT and see if the modem they have is an older model. Checks out that they have the latest version. So then Dad goes out and buys a Netgear Range Extender. After a few choice words its not operating at all. So, anyone ever used a Range extender or what I would call a repeater? The modem is in the next room, no brick walls to impede signal.

On a side not the wife and I are in a major remodel and are currently living here with them......nothing else said!
