The problem: I want to extend strong wifi from one house to another that is next door to have one continuous, seamless network.
I have Google wifi (3 pucks) covering the first house and want to purchase another 3 pucks to extend over to the next house. The problem is that there are 3 brick walls separating the location of the primary Google wifi puck in the first house and the location of pucks 4-6 in the next house. I've tested it and the signal next door is very week.
How can I set this up?
Can I get a long range wireless bridge and connect directly to the modem on my end and then connect to the other 3 Google wifi pucks on the other end?

From what I can see, it looks like bridge mode will not work along with mesh mode using google wifi equipment. You could research ubiquity to see if it will. Or run wire between the houses and set up another mesh in house 2.

I would get a set of ubiquiti nanostations to make the shot between the 2 houses. Then setup a mesh system. Ubiquiti also makes mesh. I installed some at my office and they work great. The ones I bought were really high powered. I bought five, but only needed 2. Although I may setup another network just for camera when we expand security.

Perhaps your router just needs an update. Router manufacturers are always tweaking software to eke out a bit more speed. How easy—or how hard—it is to upgrade your firmware depends entirely on your device manufacturer and model.
Trendnet firmware update
Most current routers have the update process built right into the administration interface, so it's just a matter of hitting a firmware upgrade button. Other models, particularly if they're older, still require you to go to the manufacturer's website, download a firmware file from your router's support page, and upload it to the administration interface. It's tedious, but still a good thing to do since it would be such a simple fix.
In fact, even if your wireless network isn't ailing, you should make it a point to update your firmware on a regular basis for performance improvements, better features, and security updates.
