Re: WRT54GX repeaters et al.

I wouldn't consider their Customer Support response to be the final word in
this matter.  Their GPL code page lists the source for the WRT54GX
(http://www.linksys.com/support/gpl.asp), as such it may very well be
possible to customize the firmware to do WDS repeating, client mode and
other useful things.  I have not looked at the source to see how similar it
is to what was provided for the WRT54G/GS routers.

uses diffrent technology from the or WAP54G's and the WRE54G. So it will
not be compatible. As of now we do not have a device to increas the signal
on the WRT54GX. Since this device has already has a wide spead of signal.
