*it takes in ANY wifi signals from nearby (or far away with a linear polarization antenna) and rebroadcasts it thru your wireless router
*can be used to get signals to wifi units such as the psp/laptops/palm/etc
Tools Required
*Linksys WRT54G wireless router
*linear polarization antenna [color=yellow]OPTIONAL[/color]
Step One: Downloading
http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads.php
*must flash the router first with the mini then with the standard
Step Two: Flashing the Router
Part One
*Log into your router's interface at 192.168.1.1. By default the username is blank and the password is admin (though if you've had this router for a while, you've probably changed this). Go to the Administration tab and reset the factory defaults (this will help you avoid bricking your router). Then do a hard reset on your router by holding the reset button on the back of the router for 30 seconds.
*After you've reset your router to its factory defaults, it's upgrading time. Each time you flash your firmware, keep in mind that you should only perform the upgrade over a wired connection and that you can't flash the firmware over an https connection. Again navigate to the Administration tab, then click on Firmware Upgrade. Browse for the mini generic firmware that you downloaded above, select it, and click the upgrade button. While you router is in the process of updating, make sure you don't mess with anything. Place your hands in your lap or go grab a glass of water - just let your computer be while the firmware upgrade completes.
Part Two
*If all went well, you should see this lovely Upgrade is successful screen. It's been suggested that you should wait a few minutes after the success screen because some Linksys routers have been known to report a successful upgrade before the process is complete. While I didn't follow this suggestion (and experienced no problems), you might want to keep it in mind.
Part Three
*If you navigate back to 198.168.1.1, this is your new DD-WRT Control Panel. Pretty cool, huh? You may notice that you've got a lot of new tabs and options at your disposal. Be patient, though, we're not ready to use them all just yet.
Part Four
*Your new default username is root, and your password is admin, so next time your prompted, have them on hand.
*We've got to upgrade the firmware one more time, from the mini firmware to standard. Again go to the Administration tab and restore your factory defaults. You could probably skip this step since you've just installed it, but it's not a bad idea to do it for good measure. Also perform the hard reset on the back of your router.
Part Five
*Now we're ready for the final upgrade. Navigate to Administration -> Firmware Upgrade and browse to where you saved the standard firmware. Click Upgrade.
*Again, it's important that you don't close your browser window or turn off your router or computer while the upgrade is in process. As before, it may take a few minutes to complete, but once it does...
Part Six
*you're done! now u can go into the control panel and change whatever u want! remember u can change the signal strength of the router from 24 mW to 251 mW. and u can also set which programs get how much bandwidth! enjoy!
