How To: Manually Setting Up the Linksys WRE54G Wireless-G Range Expander - Update

I would avoid these even if you can get them to link. Speed reduction is one reason. Getting them to link is another. I have had them work but I currently can not get it to work with WAP54G. I would try a Powerline solution.

Linksys' WRE54G Wireless-G Range Expander [reviewed here] is a WDS-based 802.11b / g repeater. Its purpose is to receive a signal from an Linksys WAP54G access point or WRT54G and WRT54GS wireless router and relay it to extend a wireless LAN's range.

Link for using as access point. or here
(I put Tomato on this and access setup fine but can't connect so have reverted to an old BEFSR41 v3 with WAP65G) Plan trying dd-wrt.
