Does anyone here know if those range expander/extenders work very well? The way my home is constructed, the path is through a few walls, including exterior stucco (concrete).

There are multiple ways to go about improving wireless reception. There are wireless repeaters, larger antennas for both the router and PC (though I don't know of any for laptop adapters), and there is 3rd party firmware (see my post above) that allows you to increase the transmit power.
For a antenna check out the HGA7T from Linksys. For a repeater check out the WRE54G. There is information on both on linksys' website.
