MIMO available in the Netgear RangeMax would have helped you. I've always found Linksys to be trash. The Linksys WAP I have doesn't even reach outside the living room. But the Netgear RangeMax reaches all over the house and the patio.

Nonetheless, for work, I was given a Linksys "wireless range expander" (repeater) to test. It has no wired ports and simply repeats the wireless network signal that you configure for it. I haven't tested it yet.

The Buffalo "air station" ethernet bridge recieves a wireless signal and provides connection to it via 4 ethernet wired ports. We've tested it and it works very well.

Sunday, I spent 6 hours working at our booth at a local Art & Wine festival explaining wireless connectivity to a bunch of luddites and drunks. It was so much fun I stayed longer than my 4 hour shift.
