right now im sharing my internet with 6 other ppl (2 houses) & they all located a floor above me. my concern is that they only got a weak signal from my gsv4. i have 3 solutions in mind rite now...
1. buy a high gain antenna (7 or 8dbi) (>$150)
2. drag a cable up their houses then put a switch in there. (>$60 each)
3. buy another access point & put it in 1 of the houses or in my house (gsv4 - front, new ap - back) (>$150)

whats the best solution in term of cost & the quality of the signal. becos i need to make sure all my customer get good internet speed. rite now im thinking of getting another access point...

this can be configured using wds rite? but need 2 wrt54g, am i rite?

I bought WRT54GL today for RM 250 at the Level 3 Linksys seller cannot bargain anymore no choice, i saw the antenna sold for RM 180 kinda expensive i think at the moment increasing the mW power source in the antenna already boost the signal no need to buy unless few of my neightbours wanted to subscribe my WiFi Networks

WRT54GL

DD-WRT v23 and higher supports this router.

The stock firmware from Linksys on the WRT54GL v1 won't accept a firmware image over 3MB in size (you will get the error: "Upgrade are failed!"(sic) if you try) so you will need to flash the mini version of DD-WRT onto the router BEFORE flashing the std or voip versions. (Remember to hold reset button for 30 sec after flashing mini version.)

The WRT54GL Ver 1.1 stock firmware will accept a firmware image of at least 4MB in size; Flashed the memory with DD-WRT standard version (V23sp2). Did not see any success or fail message, however when completed got a blank page in IE. After rebooting Windows, was able to reach the new DD-WRT screen.

[Comment added 07/08/06 by Wayland] I found it best to start with factory settings before flashing WRT54GL for the first time.

[Comment added 23/09/06 by Ullapra]After flashing my WRT54GL to v23 SP2 I was unable to access the web administration page at first. It turned out that the httpd process was crashing every time I tried to access it. I found this workaround in the forums and it fixed the issue:

nvram set language=english
nvram commit
reboot

After the reboot my httpd was back and running. I suspect that the initial error was caused because I hadn't explicitly reset to factory defaults (I assumed that the just-out-of-the-box router would already be at default). The original thread is HTTP device admin not responding

Any idea which version should i use for the mini?

can u help me on my friend's dd-wrt.. on WRT54GS v4.

err..i hav juz flashed it with ddwrt v23 sp2 standard from linksys firmware. the problem is after i flashed it..
i CANT access the router HTTP page.. but i can ping the router and go online with it. i tried telnet-ing with

killall httpd
cd /www
httpd -h /www

didnt work for me. im afraid to hard reset.. as its my friends and i wont be here. so he is still able to go online.

this sat, i gonna buy 1. so to be safe, shud i buy the GL? the GL itself got few versions or not?

vivre, refer to this page:

I want to flash to Ver 23 SP2 VPN version wanna test dd-wrt with VPN anyone manage to test it?

u meant modem or the router burnt?

i think by doing hard reset should be fine... Press reset button for 10 sec while powering on your router...then power cycle the router...
