how do I find a PCI Wi-Fi card with a strong as possible signal?

I'm looking for a PCI wifi card with a signal strength as strong as the Samsung Galaxy S6 (weird comparison most likely, I don't have experience in wifi).

 

My parents are unplugging the Ethernet cable that leads from the main building out to my hut so I can't use my PC. I'm located around 15m away from the router and the signal passes through two wooden walls. From my room I can use my Galaxy S6 on our wifi with transfer speeds enough for 1080p youtube streaming but not my PC, so I'm looking to buy a wifi card to bypass their restriction and be able to use my PC. My previous PC had a cheap PCI card from china (~$12) that couldn't connect or detect our wifi from my room so I'm looking to get a decent one that's as powerful as the one in the Galaxy S6.
 

Transfer speeds aren't particularly important, getting around 20Mb/s download would be sweet to watch youtube but I could deal with as little as 1Mb/s and just play some Counterstrike.

If anyone knows of a card that can reach the signal or knows for what to look for while searching for one please leave a comment.

 

The wifi router is an ASUS RT-N56U

what do you mean by circuit?
 

they won't allow me to use internet during certain periods as a sort of punishment which I find absolutely idiotic so I'm looking to bypass it with using the wifi.

I'm also looking into getting a wifi repeater.

I have some questions for you.

 

1. How old are you?
2. Why were you punished?

3. How long does the punishment last?

4. Will you still have access to the internet while performing homework, etc?

5. Have you tried talking to them, in a calm manner, like an adult, and working out a way for you to get internet back?
