What are the easiest ways to extend my wireless to another home a short distance away? We have a good signal when outside on the patio but weak inside.

Can I use another router or access point to pickup the signal and repeat/enhance it? If so, could the router to wire one or two computers?

Is this called gateway/repeater/bridge?
 
They ARE called repeaters. I recommend buying the same brand as your router, though other brands should work.
