i have a netgear one, it works perfectly well througout my house, but its more of an apartment in the second floor of a house. My neighbour who has linksys lives downstairs, and I can catch her signal too..SO i guess linksys routers must also be good

I've got the D-Link DI-614+ and have the signal turned down to 25% - we still get good signal throughout the house, even through three walls. I've even taken my laptop out into my garden (about 100 feet from the house) and I still have signal. So I'm surprised to hear you don't get a strong signal.
Anything odd about the house's structure? Is it new construction? Were metal studs used?

it does go through several walls, but the big problem is really that the range is very random for some reason. some days i get reception in my room, others i get nothing. i am not sure why that happens.
why dont u get the same model and just step them up to relay the signal
or if you have another ethernet port where there is no signal set it to broadcast there making 2 wifi networks
