what is a good wifi extender?

due to the amount of plug in items I need for the media center, I have my router by the living room TV, which makes getting reception upstairs especially in the master bedroom, spotty.
What is a good extender that I can get that will amplify the signal?
The router is a netgear wireless N router but about 1.5 years old.

Any cheap linksys router that you can flash with DD-WRT.

asus router
This will work for what you want. I've never used it but have usually read good things about Asus routers.

I went a head and pulled the trigger on a new Asus (RT-AC56U). So I will use that as the primary.
Then the hardwired connection I have to the Desktop upstairs I will plug the old router into, and use it as an extender. Then with this old linksys router I have I will try and make that also and extender by using this ethernet over voltage adapter I got.
I wonder if the signal will go all the way to the garage? I would love to have a better signal in the far back of the detached garage.

Go for 2 Ubiquiti Unifi access points. They're $70 a piece and can uplink with one another wirelessly. You'll have 2 full access points for devices on each floor, without worrying about all the issues that you usually see with extenders.

There is no such thing. Extenders are just bad ideas.
