This would be greatly influenced by the wireless access point and the connection used, i.e. b,g,n. and also the antenna used in the CC3200 device.
To get the greatest range, make sure it is a good quality n router with multiple antennas (3 or greater), and if you require even greater range then make sure your CC3200 device also has an external antenna attached. Also make sure the access point is not on the ground, and preferably not located in a corner.
As an estimate, n is capable of 70m indoors and 250m outdoors. But this will be greatly effected by many factors such as noise, obstacles, antennas, etc.

If i want to control my quadcopter over the Wifi, does TI have any wifi range extender for the Simple Link CC3200?
If it's impossible, can you suggest any Wifi products from TI that has the range about 500 meters and above!
Thanks
Here is a table which shows the different Wireless products and their range. You will need to look at the proprietary sub 1Ghz products to get the range you want - http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Wireless_Connectivity

In my project, Wifi solution is more preferred. But the range is not far enough.It seems that TI has products called range extender. I wonder that Simple Link Wifi CC3200 can be connected to that module and how far can the Extender can boost the range? in case, i want to make an local network between just 2 SimpleLinks!
There is no such product for WiFi (i.e. 802.11), just ZigBee and Sub 1Ghz - http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/wireless_connectivity/simplelink/range_extenders/overview.page?paramCriteria=no
