Signal is between good and very good but dipped into poor once

Hi

The best Method to Extend Wireless Coverage depends heavily on the Specific
Environment.

Look at these pages, they describe most of the options that are within the
means of Entry Level users, and choose the one that fits you environment
best.

Hi Gain Antenna for Entry Level Wireless -

In general, the best Method involves using multiple units connected with
wire to the source.

Or WDS ( Wireless Network, Configuration Modes -
http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Modes.html ).

Wire connected Access Point (or a second Wireless Router configured as an
Access Point) is better since WDS cuts the "Speed" into half past the
repeating unit.

Make this easy on yourself. You can go to nearly any store that sells
computers and buy a higher gain antenna. BTW - have you done something
simple like move the antenna on the router?
