Getting an N router won't give you better signal to the PS3, as I believe it only supports g-signals. I would reccomend getting a repeater.
Me and my dad spent a weekend hardwiring our house with ethernet cables. We ended up running about 150ft of cable through and up walls. The end result? Beautiful. Each in-the-wall cable connected to a wall port which were color coded (not exactly sure why) and ran to the switch we had our network on.

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

While that is true, some people simply don't have the option of using wired connections.FloppY_ wrote:

His house is almost a century old so the walls are made of signal blocking (and hazardous) materials.
Wireless sucks serious cock. Wired is more reliable, and from what I learn, faster. I have a wire going out of my games room, running along the side of the house down in to my Dad's computer, where the router is. But then again, I wouldn't be able to find a wireless range big enough, considering it has to go through at least 5 walls and quite alot of air.
Spend the money to get wired and you won't look back.

find a bunch of cheap routers convert them and make a hotspot.
If you want to keep the same WAP, you may want to look into two things:
1. Higher-gain antennas
2. Range booster
Your comment about Verizon is interesting. I've got Verizon FiOS and only have one router, which is for the IP network. They have a conversion box that translates the signal from the fiber to whatever their STB takes and puts it directly into the coax in my house. No additional router required, no wireless for the TV required, either.

Running cables isn't that hard...simply hit your local RadioShack, or a computer store, buy a long coil of cable, which isn't to expensive, and then attach to your ceiling and hallways. Otherwise, you could try running it under your carpet (if you have it), or simply next to the wall.
Option B is to move the router. C is to fork over the money and buy a high-end wireless card for your PC.

Cover all surfaces between yourself and the router in tin foil to reflect the radio-waves - thereby effectively guiding them between your wireless NIC and your router...
We spent $$$ on a router, no problems here. Our laptop (which stays in our living room) gets 3/4 bars. The signal travels from my room, down the stairs and through a wall. My brother gets 2/4 bars because the signal travels from my room, down the hall, and through his door. Never lags out of BF2, and browsing doesn't shit on him randomly.

What kind of stuff do you have? (router, reciever)
Of course wireless is not as reliable as a wired connection. That's common sense. However, if you take heed to where your wireless router is, what types of interference can hinder it, and/or the distance from the router to a pc, ps3, wii, etc., you can make it run effectively. Maybe you could get an AP(access point) if you aren't able to get great range with your router.
