extending wireless coverage......

I currently run 2 pc's 2 floors up from my WRT54G Router.

Signal strength has never been that good, so I feel it's time to do something about it.

I have 2 options (as far as I know);

1. Use a signal booster

2. Use a wireless bridge/repeater

Does anyone know if the Linksys bridges that are available will do what I require and act as a repeater to extend the network between my router and my wireless equiped pc's??

And are there any other options that I don't know of yet?

I apologise if this is in the wrong forum too

thanks

D.

Any active hub or a switch will do the job, especially if you want to expand your network in the future...

Yes that's true too... but in this person's case, i think he's planning on staying WIRELESS. Thus the request for a repeater.
