i need to get wifi to my back house. it is about 75ft from router to back house. i also need it to get my internet to my PS3. I do not want to use the lan line because i don't want to go though all the walls. Is there a wifi to wifi thing that i can put at the back of the house to boost the signal?

You need a wireless router. 75ft should be no problem for one. As far as the PS3 goes I think they have a wireless card built in but I cant say for sure. Not sure what else you need it for but if its a pc a usb wireless card would be the easy way to go.

Not sure on how 802.11 N effects range but you may want to try and get that thing up as high as possible in the room you have it in. What else are you trying to get internet to besides your PS3 ?

i need it for my PS3 and laptop in the back house. my laptop has a wifi booster. is there a device that hook up to the router or the PS3. Also is a device that can recieve signals and boost them and send signals?

You can get another router and set it in repeater mode and it will do just that.

I would consider a couple of these before using a repeater...
