I would use some devices from here

Only one needs to have an internet connection.

          I am looking for suggestions for a wireless router that could
          cover a<br>
          huge house (think 4500-5000sq ft.). I have only bought dinky
          access<br>
          points at Bestbuy or Fry's so I'm not sure where to begin. The
          problem<br>
          is that when we walk around the house, the signal says full,
          but the<br>
          response and signal is horrible. I also noticed when running
          bandwidth<br>
          tests, upload is fine (4 meg on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
            href="http://speedtest.net" target="_blank">speedtest.net</a>)
          , but downloading is<br>
          super slow (0.02meg). &nbsp;Just looking to tap the brain trust is
          all.<br>
          Thanks!<br>
