Alex,
I have had better luck with the D-Link brand
www.d-link.com
They make repeaters and range extenders that can help extend the
signal to allow you to 'punch through' those walls.
Mixing brands is generally not a problem, but try to ensure that if
using a 802.11g router that the card in your PC also supports 802.11g.
Good luck!
