No... Had the same problem here, and the netgear powerline AP
(http://www.netgear.com/Products/Powe...essPoints.aspx
) solved it real quick and easy... Plug one unit in by the wap/router
connected via cable to the router part, and plug the other unit in where you
have a dead spot.. Not only use it in the one room with a dead spot, but
during nice weather I tend to hang on the patio in the gazebo, and just have
it plugged in out there..... (ps, both units in one box are available for
under $99, or a bit more $119 at staples).. A bonus is that for some strange
reason, my PDA (Dell xv51) will work with that when I'm at a marginal
distance from the main router
