Exclamation Need a new wireless router

Hi guys

I'm looking for advice on a new wireless router, or maybe combined modem/router.

I currently have a Telstra Bigpond Modem that's probably 10 years old, and an old D-Link DI-624 (I think) wireless router.

The router/computer used to be upstairs and I could get wireless in most places of the house including outside, but now the computer/router is downstairs and there's parts of the house, including outside, that I can't get a signal anymore.

So I'm looking to get a new wireless router that has a stronger signal so it can be picked up from a bigger range.

Note: I'm on ADSL1 - I can't get ADSL2+ or cable where I am.

Any advice?
Should I get a combined modem/router, or just a wireless router?

We have about 7 devices that need to connect to the wireless network, but they're rarely in use all at once (3 laptops, ipad, iphone, ipod touch, printer).

A friend got this: http://arc.com.au/pub.php?pid=37497&p=product and loves it.

Is that good for me?

Cheers and thanks
