The little plug-in-the-wall Airports do repeater duty, I think, and aren't that pricey. The big Airport Extremes are pricey but have a spot for external antenna, have a signal-strength knob (don't watch the food cook) and can also be used as a repeater. Much easier (IMHO) to set up than the Linksys, though I haven't needed try to do the repeater thing.
Does she have a new portable phone or other RF source and is she really using g? You might also have a freeloader in the neighborhood that is competing. I've had situations where performance was bad, so I put in MAC address security and things got dramatically better. Sometimes just moving the antenna over a few inches or mounting it higher up on a wall can make a big difference. C. Marcus G.
