best wireless access point

Hello,
I'm looking for some advice for a very stable and secure wireless access point.

My house has two buildings, the main house and a smaller building which sits rights next to the main house. My office is in the smaller building.

I'm currently running Netgear N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router (WNDR4500) to power my network of computers in my office, about 5 computers. I have a DELL PoE switch which gets is hooked up to the Netgear with ethernet cable... this powers all the cat5e jacks in the house.

Issue is: wireless internet access signal in the house is weak. Someone recommended that I buy APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION. I see on the net that ASUS RT-N56U gets good reviews. I'm confused if I can hook up another router in the house to serve as the wireless access point. If so, should I get another Netgear N900. Or something else? Is the Apple Extreme reallly the best product for me? I read about Ubiquiti, do people like that?

Thanks for all your advice.
 
you can get another router and use it as a wireless adapter, but that usually isnt economical

since you have dual frequency router (you can do 5ghz), i suggest you buy a dual band adapter and try running your connection is 5ghz mode. worth a shot, and if not youre still getting a really good wireless adapter to run in 2.4ghz mode- http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/linksys/AE1000

edit- im not sure if youre asking for a new router or just a good wireless adapter. but if you are looking for a better router, this gets suggested all over the net as one of the best for the money - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833162031
