    I don't know of anyway to do it cheap. Not saying there isn't a way, but I know people who have gotten the airport extreme card and have been happy with it. Check it out:

    If you are using a AirPort base station you could use one of these to extend the range http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/. I'm not sure it's what your looking for, but it has some other cool features like letting you play your iTunes through your home stereo.
