I currently have a Netgear DG834Gv2 router, I have been looking at various options to extend the range as the signal does not reach to the rooms furthest away.
-Netgear WGXB102 kit- utilises power sockets
-Netgear WG602 v3 (in bridging mode)Not 100%sure if this would work, although it's the cheapest option.
-Netgear WPNT 834 Rangemax 240 ( to replace existing router)
Any advice gratefully received.:-)

I've been looking into this too as I want to reach an outbuilding. I have changed the Aeriel on my router but that hasn't made all that much difference. I think Linksys and Belkin do make extenders....0

The WG602 has a 'repeater' mode which would seem to siut your purposes.
I upgraded the from an old 824 to a 834pn and didn't notice that much more range.
I'm currently looking a the homeplug stuff to see if that helps, but not had much 'real world' experiance of it...Ever stop to think and forget to start again?0
