Besides a cable connection (which would negate the benefits of a wireless network), you can either enhance your router with higher-gain or additional antennas (netgear, d-link, and linksys generally all have additional antenna ports in the back, and most can accept 1 to 3 antennas), or install wireless access points (essentially, devices that receive and repeat your signals as if your computer were located at that spot, instead of further away).
Access points only require a power source; they can be located anywhere an outlet is available. The problem is, they can cost more than a router.
You *can* buy a cheap router (as long as it uses the came protocol, which I assume is 802.11g) and during configuration, set it up as an access point (so it doesn't act independently as a router). That's probably a much more cost-effective way to go.

What I would do is replace the factory firmware with DD-WRT.

I would then add a localized gain antenna and raise the WAP (wireless access point) in height. Mounting near the top of the wall helps.
Use of DD-WRT allows you to vary the output power of the tranmistter. They usually default to medium power.
You can also add a rnage extender. This will allow you to extend the coverage into other rooms or around your property with no modifications to the existing WAP.
