An alternative to polluting your living environment with strong radiowaves,
is to get two cheap WRT54G's off ebay. Flash them with 3rd party firmware eg dd-wrt (This is easier with the older models but doable with new ones)
-
then set them up using WDS (ie they both extend the same network).
Then you can have a low strength signal that is closer to the shape of your house rather than having an over-strong signal flooding one room in an effort to trickle upstairs.
