Do you need the ADSL function? If not, you could also try getting one of the Linksys routers with upgradeable firmware. Many of the 3rd party projects allow you to set the signal strength. I like Thibor's, but I hear a lot about Tomato these days.Yet another option is to upgrade to a nice omni-directional antenna, possibly in conjuction with a signal booster or repeater. Here is some info on making/buying an omni. Seriously?
