Range extenders for network?

We are using a Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router in a fair sized multi-room
facility. The range of the router is fine, no complaints about that, but
the area is too large for complete coverage by the one router. Can anyone
recommend range extenders or repeaters that will enlarge the coverage area?
I have seen some pretty sad reviews for the D-link and Linksys products.
What's the experience out there? Any help and/or recommendations would be
greatly appreciated.

I haven't used range extenders myself, but here is a good site about
them:

Thank you for the quick response and the site URL. Unfortunately the
website does not have any information on the qualities of individual, name
brand repeaters that can be used with the Belkin router. If any one has had
experience with repeaters or range extenders please jump in.

Thanks again....

Hi there Paul & Leni,

I am lookint at the Linksys WRE54G unit and have posted to see if anyone has
used it. I found a web site www.ezlan.net that shows how to use another
router as an extender. Hope this helps.
