I'm sure this is a common question, forgive me for repeating it.
I've just had ADSL installed, I'm using a Netgear router (model no. DG834GUK) and Netgear adapters (WG311GE). I live in a house with 2 floors, with a pretty solid concrete slab separating them. My router is installed upstairs, my PCs downstairs can't pick up a signal. Testing with my laptop, the signal drops to naught at the bottom of the stairwell.

What are my options?
I've heard of a repeater device, but this doesn't seem to be available in SA.
I've also seen a booster mentioned on Netgear's website, ditto for that.
Seeing as I sold my housemates on the 'wireless' nirvana, I'm hoping I can get connectivity without running cables.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
