Wireless Hardware recommendations

Here's the situation.

We're on cable for the Internets. Requirement of someone's job. So the wireless modem sits in the "office"/bedroom. If you draw a straight line from there to where the desktop/family computer sits you go through several walls including two with plumbing - hence no wireless signal at the desktop.

Looking at adding a repeater to 'bend' the signal so we're not stuck using the laptop in the living room all the time.

Wireless router = Linksys WRT150N Wireless N home router made by Cisco.
Antenna on desktop = D-Link DWA-130 Multi-band

So. Suggestions on repeater brand for home use and also should we set up all the wireless stuff as a single brand. Looked around a bit on da 'Nets and home repeaters are uncommon enough that it was hard to find definitive comparison reviews.

ETA: Or should we scrap the whole repeater idea altogether and figure out how to hardwire...

Thanks for all youse guys help in advance!
