I have a WRT54GS installed at the far end of my home office. I had to install it there because that is where the broadband connection comes in and that is where the wired servers reside. I still have this WRT54G on my hands. I have two computers on the opposite end of the house that can barely detect the network -- sometimes not at all. The house runs lengthwise about 80 feet and the signal must penetrate three walls to reach the other end.
Q: Can the WRT54G be placed, say, in the middle of the house and connect with the base AP and operate as a repeater to the two long runs? Can it be done wirelessly or must I have a CAT-5 connection? What are the caveats?
Thank you for any help or pointing to a URL to assist me.
