Extending wireless network range

[Darksword]

Well we recently went all wireless and that at home, but because of the size of the house, we need to extend the range of the router. Can anyone recomend a good wireless repeater or solution to my problem? I plan on moving the router to a more central location, but this still will only cover a bit more of the house.

I plan on placing 2 wireless repeaters upstairs on the landing which should then cover the ground and first floor. Are there any problems to this? are there any other solutions i should look at?

Also could anyone suggest a good wireless repeater to extend the range of my network?

U just need to add 1 or more Access Points and set em as Repeaters:
I used these ones:

It's easy: they come out with a default IP Address, all setup can be done via Browser and it's fuck easy as 1 2 3.
U go in Ap Mode, set it to Wireless Repeater, ensure that u put in the correct Mac Address of the AP u want to repeat signal, ensure that they are on same SSID and Channel and u are done.
Btw this will work ONLY with other WAP54G Access Points.
I would defo recommend Linksys, by the way it's been bought by Cisco 2 years ago and it's their SoHo Branch Office now.
