looking for a wireless router - with range!

[QueBert]

I had posted a thread about extending the range of my wireless usb adapter. I hadn't used it in ages, so I reinstalled the drivers yesterday (Buffalo WLI2-54G), hook my external antenna, try to connect to my neighbors network and BOOM BSOD - Prisma02 is the file that's bosd'in me. Tried un/reinstalling same thing. I got about 5 BSOD's from this in 30 minutes of trying, Googled up and nothing helped. So I've decided to buy a router and not deal with drivers at all.

any ways in the last thread I posted I was told to get a Linksys and flash it with the DD-WRT and use it as a client. Never had experience with a router outside of using it as a router.

Running them in client mode, is this something most can do? Basically what I'm after is a router with awesome range that can be ran in client mode so I can connect to my neigbor's network. Which is 5 or 6 houses up the street. With my Buffalo adapter and the 6.5dbi antenna hooked up, I could see the network (1 bar) sometimes it would connect fine, others it would be unable to. I just want an easy way to connect.

router suggestions?

The signal is too weak.

I doubt that a Router in Client Mode would make a difference.

I know a router itself won't help, but one with better reception will. I had a Linksys SRX PCI card and it was amazing, it pulled in a 50% signal due to the better antennas. My other adapter saw the same network, but I couldn't connect to it usually, and when I did it was very spotty. And would disconnect every 3 minutes. But I ended up selling the Linksys. Now I wish I still had it. I would buy a Cantenna and hook it up to my Buffalo adapter, but the BSOD's get with it are sick.

so I was wondering which router has the best strength, looking at a D Link Mimo one for 150 that claims to have 1000' range, which would be perfect.
