What is the best why to extend you wireless network? The one I currently have seems to go far, but I would like to extend it a little more.

Good question Ed!

Right now I think the best and easiest way to make your wireless network bigger is to add another access point, and space them to get the right coverage for you area.

If you go shopping, be careful not to buy another wireless router. It has to be just an access point if you're going to get it to work properly.

Ed, matt is correct, you need an access point and you have to tinker with the settings of your existing router under "wireless Configuration" and set up your new kit as a "wireless repeater" this can be done by typing in the mac address or invoking your router to search for the new kit.
