RE: CB3 functionality?

Most WRT54G linksys models will run client bridging with very
configurable power output with some freely available custom firmwares...

Not sure if it is a worthy replacement as I've never toyed with the CB3,
but its something at least worth looking at.

speaking of the CB3, has anyone found a good Ethernet client bridge with

high power that is a worthy replacement to this?
