They all work. You will find single back or dual band extender - johneneAspirantWould I get better performance by buying a new router? The one I have is 20 months old. Or would you recommend the extender instead? Thanks.

Get extender - greg_eAspirantIs an extender better than using a 2nd router? I have a WNDR4500 but in the basement it doesn't cover the entire house very well. I was just going to get a 2nd router but then saw the range extender so thought I should check it out.

Keeps the wpa2 encryption to connect - tacoyacAspirantLook into Powerline technology (check Amazon). Way cool. Plugs into wall next to router and then runs the internet through your electricity. I think Linsksys or Netgear makes one with a wifi adapter at the other end too.

Sounds good. I will pick one up on the way home. - johneneAspirantHey, Greg, did Powerline technology work for you and if so, which one did you buy? My wireless connection keeps dropping and losing speed. Thanks.
