Default Using a bridge to "boost" the signal?

So I've got a Linksys N router and I only get 20% signal strength to my PS3. I would think that the speed would be better with 20% as my laptop sitting right by the PS3 only has 20% signal strength as well, but my speeds fluctuates between 3-4mbs on the laptop where they are only about 50k on the PS3! So I basically can't do shit on the PS3. I want to be able to stream video and music, download demos (right now it takes about 3-4 days per demo), and I would love to be able to play some Uncharted2 MP.

So here is my question, would a Linksys N bridge be able to grab a strong enough N signal to be able to do everything I am wanting to do above? I have actually never even used the N capabilities of my router as everything I own just does G, but if I could run Cat5 into the PS3 off the bridge and be getting decent enough speeds to stream and play MP I would be very happy
