If you are 8m++ away from your wireless router and walls are standing in your way of getting 5 bar signals, I HAVE THE SOLUTION FOR YOU. Presenting...
DD-WRT
The above link points you to an open source firmware that can be installed on a router. I managed to install the firmware on an old 4 year old WRT54G, reprogrammed it into a repeater bridge and voila! FULL strength signal in my room. Although theoretical data throughput suffers by approximately 50%, I'm more than happy to live with it than suffering dropped connections every few minutes. =)
So yeap, check it out and tell me how it went!
