I have that model router installed in my parent's basement and the 2nd floor gets great coverage.
The main point is that your wireless network is likely far more complex than necessary and that is possibly part of your problem.
Well, I don't think I'd say it's far more complex than necessary. Two wireless access points instead of one. Other than the occasional dropout by the AE, the network works fine. No problems with having two access points on the same wireless network. Operation between them is seamless. The only "complaint" I'd have about it is that the older AirPort base stations won't work with Windows computer unless we use a 13 character WEP password. But one could say "that's not a bug, it's a feature!".
(Yes, I know about WEP. We don't need to have that discussion, but thanks for thinking of it.)
