High Power Router Suggestions, or alternative?

Can anyone recommend a router that puts out a very strong signal?

I've had 3 router's (WRT54GL's and Asus) in my house/garage to create a network that spans across the entire house and yard using 3 routers running TomatoUSB, and then using Powerline Adapters to hard wire the 3 together in a repeater type mode. Unfortunately 1 of the routers seems to be flaking out a lot and we have slow connection in the middle point of the 2 other routers when the middle one flakes out.

My house is build of plaster walls so the signal definitely needs to be more powerful than a sheetrocked house.

Can someone recommend a router or a way to boost the signal with 1 device, versus needing to manage multiple as I am now?

I searched Amazon and came up with these as a High Powered Routers, think either are worthy?

My budget is around $125 and below since I'm only using it in my house for personal needs and we don't stream a ton, just need to have wifi without interruption and coverage across the house and yard to the garage. No bells and whistles needed, just a strong a$$ signal.
 
Run cable to the garage.
Remember you get what you pay for. These are not the latest and greatest.

Hmm, that is an idea....but have no time to actually do it now unfortunately. Any other options until I can maybe one day run a hard wire?
 
There are regulations that limit the broadcast power of home routers. How well they work with that given power output is another matter, but if your range isn't cutting it, the best bet is to add more access points (as you have done).

That said, I'm partial to Asus routers.
