When I woke up to a bad router a couple of months ago, I drove to Walmart and got a Netgear N150 for something around $35-40. It hooked right in with the MacBook. I've got it at one end of the house and have no trouble getting a signal anywhere in the house including the basement as well as outside, about 80 feet away at the other end of the house. I'm perfectly happy.
