Does the Sveasoft firmware allow you to increase the signal strength?  I 
know the firmware I have lets you up it and it seems to make a 
difference in my townhouse.  I think they are set at 50% from the 
factory.  Last time I went to the computer store I also saw high-gain 
antennas for the linksys routers, not sure if they work though.  You can 
find a link on the main page of the linksys site.
