Alright so here's what's going on...
My friend lives in a 2-building house.
The main house is single story, average home with 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, etc... And the house behind it is a small apartment-type deal with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a small recreational space, they are seperated by maybe 25 ft.
Now his modem (20mbps/2mbps) is connected to a D-Link DIR625 Rangebooster N router. The router's wireless kinda sucks... I'm not too sure why, but it just isn't so stable (aka internet speeds drops like a f***ing rock when going over it). His sister's laptop can connect to it with maybe 1-2 bars, and gets absolutely TERRIBLE speed.
Finally, the router is in the main house, and he wants to get to be able to play Xbox Live in the second building out back. There is a seperation of about 3 walls across 200-300 ft between both rooms.
Is there any possible way he can get stable internet upstairs without going via a LAN line? Is there any cheap (like $60-70 or less) router that will get great coverage that far away? and finally, is there any way he can setup a second router up there to receive the signal and allow internet access via its LAN ports?
