Since you already have the Sveasoft firmware you can enable WDS and use<br>one WRT54G as an extender to the main one.</blockquote><div><br>
Linksys also sells a wireless extender which rebroadcasts signal from a
WAP, WRE54G. But there may be a simpler way: WRT54G has detachable
antennas, so you can buy a high-gain antenna for it, Linsys makes some
but there are also third-party antennas. With a good antenna this WAP
has a huge range. Make sure you have security enabled :)<br>
