Although it would require more outlay, you could try an upgraded router. I had some problems with a series of basic and better routers - the router is in the basement along with my music server, and the signal to the deck off the main floor is on the other side of the house (farthest possible location). Signal had to go through many walls and was always iffy.
I upgraded to an Asus RT-N66U (branded as "Dark Knight", weirdly), which is a robust dual-band router. I mostly don't use the 5 ghz band, but sometimes do for devices that support it, but it's mostly used on standard 2.4ghz. There are other similar high-end routers. This completely solved the problem. Signal strength is significantly higher than the other routers I'd tried, and I didn't have to fiddle with Ethernet cables (only Transporter is on Ethernet, through a small hole in the floor behind it, which goes directly to the basement room with the router). It works even through a solid concrete wall from the basement location into the garage and well beyond into the yard. Good for mobiles.
