Answer
Is there an advantage to moving a wireless repeater that connects to a network outside my home to an outside wall?
	Yes. Exterior walls can significantly reduce signal strength due to their thickness and possible inclusion of foil-backed insulation. Be sure to move the entire repeater and not just extend the antenna cable. Signal loss in antenna cabling can be significant unless you use low-loss cable. But low-loss cable tends to be physically large and inflexible.
