After serious input from various sources, we ended up adding an SF-produced parabolic antenna boost (foil and wire hanger style)  to the router and rearranged the location of desktop computer so the wireless antenna (on a USB dongle) had a straight line through just one interior wall and 2 windows, the house is L-shaped, and we get decent signal. (can you tell the general consensus was that repeaters are not worth the effort?)

That's funny...I was about to send you directions for a field-expedient directional antenna ;-)
