Need a decent repeater/usb wireless adapter

[Hidden Hippo]

I've recently begun playing Battlefield 2142, and in order to play online, I have to network it with my laptop. However, it is quite annoying having to trail a LAN cable across the landing to the place where the laptop gets reception (ableit, not very good reception). What I'm looking for is a decent repeater so that I can get a signal in my room and a USB adapter to plug into my desktop.

I currently use a 108mbps Netgear setup, and the signal would have to go through one floor and then through a single door to get to my computer using a repeater in the position I intend to use.

Does anyone have some suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

you would be better with a pci card and a high gain directional antenna you may be able to get abetter reception that way.

I've considered it, but it would need to be omnidirectional as I'm not the only person who uses it. The reason I don't want a PCI card is so that I can just unplug it when I want to play something very demanding so I can shut off my antivirus etc.

Edit: I've also found these which could be more stable than the wireless, and probably cheaper if I get a decent repeater. Has anyone had experience with things like these?

Thought I'd keep this is the thread, I've got a WG102, which acts as a repeater, but I'm unable to get it to work properly with the wireless network. I'm trying to use it as a repeater to boost the signal from the router downstairs. The router is a DG834GT. Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this? Thanks.

I am not sure you can... in order to do this I believe that the router needs to support Bridging, and I don't think the DG834DT does, but I would like to be wrong!

Should have posted. I've now just changed it to leave it as a router and possibly get another one or an adaptor for my desktop to get it connected without my laptop.
