It's possible to run a cable, and I came across a repeater that seems like it would work:

Problem is, it's $200. I wouldn't have a problem paying it, I'm just looking for additional options before I shell out that kind of cash

So, anyone have any ideas, or are/were in a similar predicament?

Thanks in advance

I have this exact unit, though I paid alittle more for it.....I was having problems w/ it, I troubleshot it w/ the manufacture wi-ex.com they determined it to be a bad amp, so they're sending me a new one.....but when it did work, it was pretty good......definitely helped.

I'd go w/ Airave (when it's available) but it's $15/mo for a single line & $30/mo for family.....for $360/yr the amp/repeater was a better option.
