Well, unless your antennas are < 140 meters apart, and/or the cables are not matched to the antennas then that is your problem since you are running a "G" network. I would recommend upgrading to "N" (not only do you get a longer range but you also get higher speeds - up to 3 times the speed). But if not, search for wireless n range extender repeater and you can see that they are only $60 - $90
Also... Are you using the original Linksys firmware, or are you using DD-WRT firmware (go to http://dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database )? The DD-WRT firmware will allow you to boost the output signal and you can maybe start getting a good/constant signal.
