i have a netgear dgn1000 which has more or less decent coverage in my house, except for my room!

i was looking to get something like the wpn802 (i have a laptop with "Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200" and the "Dell 1505 Wireless Card" which is draft-n 150 iirc, is the wpn802 good enough?) and run a network cable to nearer my room and plug it in provide coverage to the upstairs areas including my room as i from reading around, i can use something called WDS to do this?

i dont want to set up a seperate wireless network for this upstairs area, i just want it to use the existing wireless name so i can communicate with other machines on my network etc etc.

any foolproof instructions on how to do this would be good.
