A repeater should extend your wireless signal

You can probably find one cheaper

they upgraded your modem for free? what plan do you have-did you have to upgrade your plan in order to get the modem?

Dude, I've forgotten about this. My PS3 is literally 4 rooms down so it gets a signal strength of about 30%. That SUCKS when playing games like MGO and BF: BC.

But think of having 3 of these things in your house. You could set up stereos to stream off a media server as well as set up your PS3 to view movies as well as listen to your music while playing games. You could also set up a server box near your TV so you could watch movies, surf the web, and do all sorts of other shit just using these two or three of these puppies.

Man, I cannot wait to own a house.

Lol I wanted to set up the whole media centre thing.. but could never be bothered. My 189 cm TV + speakers is nice - but that + media centre = pwnzer

I seriously need a new routher though - when I run wifi tester homebrew on my DS I still only get 60% with the DS sitting ON the router.
