Extender vs Router ????

Hi folks, I know this is and old question, but I would like to hear
your latest ideas on it:

There is a WTR54G (that cannot be moved or wired or anything), working
fine, and giving me a 40% intensity signal in a certain part of my
house (place A), and just 10% (or less) where I want to use my laptop
(place B).

Some people recommend me to install a WRE54G in Place A, and that will
give me a good signal in place B (sacrifying 50% of the 54MBts
bandwidth is ok to me).

Some others tell me that will not solve my problem, and I have to
install another router, instead of a repeater (I do not know what
model to use), that should capture the WTR54G signal, reads it, and
generates a 'new' network. (I think that was their idea, not sure).

Please your advice !

Andres,
I have not truly used this product but this sounds ideal for you.
