Best router for range/signal strength?

[Guy Legend]

Just asking what is recommended. I'm most interested in boosting the wifi strength of my PS3, which routinely hovers around 37-50% signal strength. My PS3 is on the 2nd floor of the house while the router is in the basement. I know that's not optimal, but I'd like to turn to better router first.

Right now I have a standard wrt54g.

I'm inclined in upgrading to this: Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router

Do you think I will see a boost in signal strength with this? I also have a laptop that's capable of using the N-band, so I figure might as well get this over the non N Rangeplus Linksys. Any advice or recommendations to other routers? I came to Linksys first because the I've had good experiences with the wrt54g and device compatibility. Thanks for any help.

In general, draft 11n doesn't provide more range over 802.11g. It provides better speed at a given distance.

I have ran the wrvs4400n Linksys router for over 6 months and ill have to admit it’s the first router I haven’t had to reboot once a month or every 2-3 months. Very reliable.

The wireless on this router is amazing you’ll definitely enjoy it.
