It's good for a multi room setup, once you start getting basements and upper floors you need something a bit more.

I think there are now routers which can use two or more routers to extend the signal.

pretty sure those are just called range extenders that you plug into the wall.

I think they are called range extenders ir range booster. I also seen the word mesh networking routers which are on router boxes with two or more wireless devices to extend the signal farther.

either way people seem to buy the extenders for existing routers when they need to kick the coverage area further.

I think some people also buy more powerful USB wifi adapters for their laptops, or a better newer PCI wifi card for an older desktop tower PCs.

That's a decent option if you don't want to spend the money on a whole new setup.
