The range extenders have their place. just keep in mind if you're trying to boost a crap single you'll get crap and further issues behind the extenders signal as well. very strong wireless AP's can be had cheap and they can sling good quality signals for long ranges depending on your needs.
The ubiquity AP's are pretty good for the money. (sub$100)

Re: wifi repeaters.....
I have dealt with those exact extenders before and they do work. But...... there is always a but. There was to much overlap in the house we did it in. So when you went from the bedroom on the east side of the house (extender 1 in there), past the modem / router in the kitchen, to the living room on the west side of the house (extender 2 in there), the ipad/computer/phone, had a hard time dropping one signal for another closer stronger one. So, no dead zone in the house actually hurt us some.

Re: wifi repeaters.....
My in-laws recently bought a condo where we live, and I worked out a deal with their neighbors to split the cost of internet service since neither my in-laws nor the neighbors stay there full-time.
I went with the Google Wifi System. It's basically routers that cost about $100 each and can create an extended network of coverage over a house. You can buy a set of 3, or buy 1 and see how far it goes. Buy a 2nd, 3rd, etc. as you need them. They sync up effortlessly, and assist you in locating them to get a good signal.
I only bought 1 for my in-laws place and told the neighbors they can buy their own if they don't get a full signal and want better coverage. The best thing about it is that it's all controlled from an app on your phone. Passwords, network name, devices that are connected, prioritize devices for bandwidth (if you're streaming a movie), and more.

Re: wifi repeaters.....
Sorry for the hi-jack, but what can one do to improve the speed of internet/netflix/iphone access in the home. I don't have any issue getting a signal its just slow as molasses quite often. AT&T is the service provider and we have talked to them and there is no "faster" option at this time.
