Is it possible to move the wireless router in your house to another area that might be closer to her, it's interesting that the phone / comp see the wifi and the ipad doesn't, I usually get a better signal on my iPad than any other device.

I know someone that went with one of these and were happy with it, but I have personally never used one.

I seem to remember hearing that these cut your bandwidth in half because of the relaying. It's an issue with cameras but probly not with surfing.

That would be my concern with and extender. But if the iPhone and desktop can pick up the signal, I would think the extender would too. I'd still look at boosting the signal with a higher gain antenna.
