Hello, I bought dji phantom fc40 and connected my go pro3 and used my note2 for monitoring it and it only went like 200 feet or so before I started to lose the video, is there any way to boost it? Thank you

You took off the camera that came with the FC40 and put on a GoPro, correct?  So, which app are you actually using?  My guess is you're using the GoPro WiFi app which doesn't claim to have a really great range.  Since neither the GoPro or the Note2 have any option for installing an external antenna the short answer to your original question about boosting the signal  would be no.
You're going to need to invest in some more equipment for greater range (meaning spending more money)

200 feet is not bad.
AEE claims up to 100 meters with this:

But it probably depends on a lot of other things- orientation of the quadcopter, etc.

Had my first flight with the FC40 yesterday, and I was very suprised at the WiFi range. It says 100 meters, but I had a good and stabile picture on my phone from 1 km! Brand new phone, bought it earlier this week.

What phone is this? I've ditched my FC40 camera for a couple of reasons. Image quality not great and the FPV with my phone drops out after about 20 meters. Also the iOS app is pants!
