Pretty much any repeater will do - as long as it conforms to the 802.11b/802.11g standard (as pretty much all the ones I have come across do )

Before you spend money however - It may be worth trying a different channel - some channel/frequencies are stronger than others, and you may find that some items in the home (DECT phones etc) will interfere with certain channels.

If you change the channel on the WAP, the PC should detect it and change accordingly.

Also check if there is a leter version of the firmware for your WAP, as this may improve the signal.

You could look at getting a high gain antennae - but they may well be as expensive as the repeater
