On the second floor of my house, I have a desktop imac with a Netgear N300 router attached to it. I have the lowest DSL speed from ATT, which bandwidthplace.com judges to be, at the moment, 1.12 Mbps download.

Downstairs, on the first floor, I use Facetime on an ipad to communicate with my brother, which works surprisingly well. But I'd like to increase the signal strength to reduce or eliminate slowdowns and drops. Do you think a range extender would allow me to do that? Or is there something else to take into account? Thanks for any relevant advice you can offer.
