^^^ I agree.
The OP could get an AirRave. It is $100 for the unit (can usually get it for free if you complain enough about poor signal at home) and $5/month to use as a repeater in the house. I have two outside sales reps at my company and am planning on getting them each one because they live in the "sticks." Just as soon as I get done "testing" the one at my house first...
But it works great! I used to get pretty decent service in my basement and now it is flawless. Never a dropped call. Well worth the investment.
