Default Computer Gurus... or anyone not a newb like me

I got a wireless network in my house, but I want to extend the wireless into a room in my barn. If I stand at one wall in the barn, I can just barely get a signal, however once I go into the finished room 50ft from where I get signal, I lose signal. Is that anything that I can get to like take in the signal wirelessly and amplify it, and send it out wirelessly? Yes I am teh newb

no problemo...but be forewarned...


Pros:
• Provides both Transmit and Receive signal boost
• Can be used with any 2.4GHz wireless product (with proper cabling)
• No software required
• Affordable

Cons:
• May not significantly improve range
BUT, the opinions from that site seem to be pretty good

Another alternative to range extenders and wireless bridges/access points:

In-house BPL is a home networking technology that uses the transmission standards developed by the HomePlug Alliance. Products for in-home networking using the electric outlets in your home (or office) are available in stores now. In-house BPL products can comply relatively easily with the radiated emissions limits in Part 15 of the FCC's Rules, because the products connect directly with the low voltage electric lines inside your home or office. In-home networking, while exciting and innovative, is not a major policy concern for the FCC. What the FCC is really wrestling with is how to get broadband Internet access over "the last mile" to the home.
