The wireless signal barely reaches the other corner of the house on the same floor, which is their family room, but I need to get a signal to the husbands office which is in the basement below that. I've got a DLink signal booster/repeater I am going to try, but I'm not really liking the idea as its another device to sit somewhere and when they lose power I don't want them to have to mess with it. Are there any suggestions? I see some of the newer routers have 3 antennas and claim to be more powerful and designed for larger homes/offices, but I'm not sure if this is hype or not.
