Hi BaJohn,
I use powerline equipment to extend my "wired" network around my concrete home. I'm using Devolo DLAN gear but there are other providers as well (TP-Link, Netgear, D-Link, etc). Smallnetbuilder has a number of reviews and comparisons to help choosing a system. My experience has been that AV200 is quite stable. Reports are that AV500 is also stable and offers a substantial increase in bandwidth. I have had some stability issues with the new AV1200 gear. Reports point to overheating of the hardware being a factor.
I know you may not want to go out and buy more hardware, but this approach does get around the issue of a crowded WiFi spectrum and has the potential to offer increased bandwidth over 11n. Powerline gear comes in 2 main flavours: wired only and WiFi with wired. To control cost, you could go for wired only gear and reuse your AP capable hardware.
Good luck with improving your network performance.
Cheers,
Shaun
