wifi extender for better phone coverage in rural area

I am not a computer or networking person.  But as a senior I am trying to see if there is a way to use my netgear wifi and extend the coverage to my five acres or at least 700' from the current router I have.  I do not get good signal and it is lost about 300' from the house and I want to be able to use my cell phones for me and my husband for emergencies

Model: EX3700|N600 WiFi Range Extender

Re: wifi extender for better phone coverage in rural area

i went on line and looked at the orbi units.  I am 74 and am not into technology.  I have a flip phone that I thought I could solve distance reception on my phone using my netgear router.  From what I see on your website, I can't what I am looking at.  I only want to use the wifi for my phone connection.  I don't text, blog, facebook, do social media, use the internet, etc. on my phone.  So, do I need to hire a computer tech to talk to me about your possible solution?
