Wireless router placement

[spence]

I recently moved my wireless router to the cellar. I wanted it to get out of the way and close to the cable splitter.

On the main floor things work fine but my signal on the other side of the basement (finished part opposite the cellar) is terrible. I'm assuming it's because there's a thick stone rubble foundation inbetween.

Would a signal repeater into the finished part of the basement likely solve my problem? I'm thinking this may be easier than moving everything...

thanks,
