Hello all I have a question. My dad is sending me a laptop that he has been using since he is getting a new one. I have a Nintendo Wii and a Nintendo DS that I can connect to via wireless and with a buffalo router. All is good there. I can sit just outside in the back and still can get connected via ds. My question is if I want to boost the signal strength and not buy a new router, what can I get? How does the wifi extender work that you plug into the wall?

Also will any wifi extender work with any wireless router....

My wireless router is the Buffalo WHR-G54S. I am not too familiar with wireless. Where do I download this from and how to do I go about installing and setting the xmit power to the max...

Also do research on wireless repeaters. They can help extend range/ get through tricky spots.
