      Ya'know, my Wii, and other Crap are on the second story of my house

      while my router is on the first floor all the way on the other side
      so i need help increasing the range

      Cheap repeater?
      Maybe antenna?

      I've seen those Cantana's but i don't want the FCC showing up at my door

            Fiddling with the orientation and relative position can help. Also, aftermarket antennas, which range from $5-$10 "passive antenna like you've got now just longer" to $120 things which need a power brick.

              those what now?

              Anyways I recommend either moving one of the other to the other side of the house, or put a big hole in the wall and fill it with aluminum foil, just make a strip and place a big long rap in there and then make it stick outta the wall in the entertainment room.

              OR move the router to the entertainment room?

                FCC = Federal Communications Commission, the American government body responsible for things which broadcast.

                Wireless networks suck, and I say that as someone who uses them. Next house, I'm ripping out the damn walls and laying good Ethernet cable.
