Default WIFI range extender ????

Often its from the machine to the other end that has the issues, from bitter
experience, each time you add a boosting system it will probably just
clutter up the band more and cause interference or suffer from it as there
are now so many networks using the same channels.

I have a BT Home Hub providing my ADSL & radiating / receiving wifi.
However I have a distributed site with several buildings well out of range
of the BT Home hub, all of which are linked by CAT5. So far I have suffered
using various wireless hubs cat5 connected, but it is a pain having
different ssid's etc and none are particularly reliable, needing occasional
rebooting.

Is there a 'range extender' that will sit on the cat5 network and
re-radiate/receive the BT Hub transparently in each of the buildings. I
don't really want a boosted full site wifi set up for security reasons.

(Although extensive this is essentially a home set up not a business, so
the budget is limited.)
