IS there a booster or any other way to increase the signal.......that goes through a block wall?? Signal is good in the furthest bedroom from the router which is on the other side of the block wall.
I have heard the new "N" router should be something I should be looking at BUT how can I tell if its compatable with my laptop which is using an INTEL PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card? Anyone have any experience with the "N" router and can it help resolve my problem???

I use an ActionTec 85 Mbps Ethernet Adapter to connect my TV to my network. I could use wifi, but this is really bullet proof. It carries the signal over the house wiring. I bought mine at buy.com or you could buy them at newegg.com or I think bestbuy might have them. You would need an ethernet jack on your computer and an ethernet cable from the adapter to your computer.
You might try the "N" router, but you should see if the modem in your computer is capable of 1000Kbs. If it is just a "G" modem it will still work, but you won't get the full benefit of the N router. I have a Trendnet 633GR that I bought from Newegg.com and it works fine.
