Boosting wireless internet signal

forgop · 07-12-2011, 08:02 PM

So, I want to finally tackle the issue with my wireless signal strength because I think hard wiring will be a major PITA. All told, my house is a 2 story, approx 4400 sq ft, and the router is at the far end of an upstairs room. At the far end of the house downstairs, I can barely detect the network, and if it does, it never connects or is so slow it's not usable as it goes in and out.

The router is a Netgear wireless N. Any suggestions on how I can "boost" the signal and make it functional throughout the house?
