Can anyone recommend a good wireless (802.11g) range extender? I would like to find something that will provide reliable wireless to areas of the building that aren't covered or get poor reception. I would also like a product that won't require big changes to my current wireless setup (multiple APs with a wireless controller are out). Latency and bandwidth aren't terribly important. Does anyone have experience with a product like this?

If you have AP's against a wall and don't need the signal on the other side, you could try using a Wifi Foil. Might look a little bad, but much cheaper then trying to buy new equipment.

As crazy as it sounds the WiFi-Foil idea does actually work to an extent. I built one myself since my access point was right next to an exterior wall and I saw an ~10dB signal gain in the furthest corner of the house.

For the price of some foil and 10 minutes of your time you could do much worse!
