OK guys, an update. The Netgear WGT624 router works like a charm as well as the DSL. However, we live in a duplex whre my parents live in the front house and we live in the rear house. I have the router set up in the rear, but my wife wants to sometimes use the laptop in the front house. The signal goes through about 5 or 6 walls depending where she is in the front house and I would say the distance is a good 50 to 75 feet at least. My question is how can I boost the signal so that we can get a stronger reception in the front house?

 

Add an expander or an antenna. I don't know if Netgear makes either, but there are those who do. I'd try an antenna first to avoid possible compatibility issues with mixing a Netgear router with a different brand range expander. You don't want an access point because they have to be connected to the network by wire before they'll transmit wireless (not 100% sure, but close). Most are like this but some can be completely wireless. The only one I've seen is a range expander by DLink.
