So, I live on a 3 floor house, I play games on the second floor and the wireless router it's on the first floor. I get 3 bars most of times, which increases latency causing my ping to go high in games such as Battlefield 3.

Any Wireless router out there that would provide longer range? Or anything I can use to improve my signal?

Thanks..

If needed, here's my system:

What kind of ping are you getting? What kind of "stuff" is in the way directly between your router and your computer's antenna? I.e walls, televisions, you. Electrical stuff can cause interference, shiney metal stuff seems to as well, and humans are notoriously bad for blocking wireless signals (wireless signals don't like big squishy, fatty, watery humans).

Also, are you sure someone else isn't using the internet? Nobody's suspiciously locked themselves in their rooms for 20 minutes at a time? Nobody downloading anything at all?

Three walls between me and the Wireless Router. And yes, they're 4 other iPhones connected to the Wireless router.
