In an area that currently doesn't have wireless coverage, plug in an access point (or router with DHCP disabled) by ethernet cable to the main router (or a nearby switch). Set the SSID and security to be the same as the main router, but put it on a different channel.

Wireless devices will see the two access points from the same network, and will just connect to whichever one has the strongest signal and will seamlessly switch between the two.
