That is so true. Sometimes you buy the right equipment for the right house. Sometimes you don't and fight through a few generations of modifications to get your Wifi where you want.
I am a HUGE believer in running Tomato firmware, but unfortunately the list of routers that will run the code is limited. A BUFFALO WHR-HP-G54 will end most range problems. If not buy two or three and run them in WDS mode. A friend of mine has 3 and covers his large 2 story house very well. Strategically places the two in "repeater mode" beside two desktops so they just plug in the repeaters wired port so those two desktops don't need wireless cards.

But yes yes yes, a BUFFALO WHR-HP-G54 is a G series router. But unless you have some kind of very fast home server or multiple servers and multiple users all streaming stored video at once it will keep up.
