I'm looking to get a wireless router that has a better range than my current one. I'm guessing since it doesn't have any antennas on it, there are better ranged ones out there. I'd like to stay under $100, preferrably around $70.

yep, that is the one, I have no wireless components but purchased this one as it was just about the same price and when others come over that have wireless. They have been able to surf clear across the house, I think for the price it is very nice.

If the computer is in a static location you can build one of those antennas out of a coffee can, they give you incredible distance but very focused. If you run to the local comp store they also have external antennas that you plug in. If you are brave enough, you can get a firmware hack to boost the voltage to improve signal strength too!
