I think my living environment is already polluted with radio waves....when I switched on the wireless on my laptop the other day it found 4 wireless networks in range!
(Two of them were unsecured as well!)

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.

D'you mean have one downstairs connected to the cable modem and then the other upstairs to boost the signal?
