Best wireless solution for a oddly designed apartment.

Hi, I have an issue accessing a wireless signal in my apartment. The layout is kinda odd. I current have a modem/router combo from Time Warner that's currently in the hallway. I can only access the wireless signal from one side of the apartment, which is above the red line. I would like to access my wireless signal in all parts of the apartment.

What would you guys recommend in this situation? I was thinking of adding a router to the mix and disable the wireless signal for the router/modem combo.

I looked around at routers and I heard some good things about the ASUS RT-N66U with Merlin firmware. I'm also concerned that just having a better wireless router still wouldn't solve the penetration issue.

Here is a layout of the place.

Leave the current installation as is.

Get an additional Wireless Router lay a cable from the current Modem/Router to a point down bellow the red line and install the second Wireless like this.

Using Wireless Cable/DSL Routers (or Modem/Wireless Router) as a Switch with an Access Point - http://www.ezlan.net/router_AP.html

Which Wireless Router? Can be anything from $30 to $150 depends on your bandwidth needs.
