Two Linksys - possible repeater setup?

[Kaido]

I need to set up a wireless network for a 2-story house with a basement. Currently the basement doesn't get good reception. I have two Linksys WRT54GS wireless routers at my disposal. Is there a way to set one to act as a repeater? I have a subscription to Sveasoft, but I haven't messed around with it yet because my WRT54GS is working so well. It's having a tough time bouncing around downstairs though (currently the wireless connection is on the 2nd floor). Any ideas?

You can setup network repeating with the sveasoft firmware.

Since you ahve a subscription you can ask for help, too.

Google for, "the individual" and you'll learn why what sveasoft did was against the GPL... Anyway, you can also try DDWRT firmware. Which has more features, newer version, and seems faster to me.

Sounds like you need to setup WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

Its always easy to convert your router back to default firmware. I changed my 2.2 wrt54g back and to ddwrt and still works as good as it did before
