So, any recommendations for a good, cheap #repeater device? And does it have to be #paired with something at the #cabinet, or just #bridge the existing #router's #network?

Inexpensive because I haven't a lot of funds for this, and if it doesn't solve the problem I don't want to have invested a lot in a non-solution.

I have a few #WRT54G's, but I don't think they do #bridging OOTB - and they're too underpowered for #opensource firmware. (If the hardware can even handle bridging..)

Un (bon) article de 2016 sur le Linksys #WRT54G (enfin #WRT54GL, c'est pareil). Manifestement, je ne suis pas seul à trouver que ce vieux machin demeure dans bien des cas le meilleur moyen de jouir d'un wifi peinard. (je l'utilise avec dd-wrt).

Open source firmware, reliability make an old product attractive to new buyers.
