Boosting wireless internet signal

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I bought 3 Netgear range extenders off ebay just a bit ago and will have them at each end of the house on each floor.

Ideally, I would hard wire to everything and that's the way my first house that I built was. I had an On-Q system and could easily go from network/phone/cable to any room in the house. This house is large with some vaulted ceilings and the excessive run of 125' from end to end less than appealing to run wire in the attic. I also just don't feel like getting down in the crawl space and doing the work underneath either. Will let you know how it turns out next week.

DD-WRT FTW! I have it on my main router and on two repeaters set up around the house.
