Actually, I forgot about that range expander linksys makes, and I use 
one everytime I go back to Kansas to get signal from my neighbor's 
house.  The one I have is a wre-54g and was around a hundred the last 
time I looked.  I found mine on ebay.  All you do is plut it in and push 
a button that tells it to scan.  It slows data throughput, but they 
really do work.
