You can always put an accesspoint in your house to help strengthen the signal there. If you are still having trouble, try to position both access points where they have a clear line of site (by a window or something) this will make a significant difference in your signal integrity.
Another thing you can do is get a directional antenna for each AP (Access Point) and just point them at each other!

you need an antenna, are you using a card with a pigtail hole? if not, your going to have to buy one. from there you can connect a bunch or different antennas. if you have little $$$, you could make your own ghetto cantenna here. or just purchase one over here, you can also make a real effective one out of a satellite dish.

Thanks for posting those links, I lost my favorites when I reformatted my drive (I always forget to save those).
