I have put in a few wireless routers but never got into the internals.
I now have one in my home and will be adding a Range Extender.

I possess a WRT54G, running Windows XP and uploaded the latest firmware
(version 3+ dated Dec 2004 I think) from Linksys.com.

In reading the latest PC Mag, I ran across an interesting article on
the Satori firmware and extra options it adds. (www.linksys.org)

A few questions:

1. Is this the best choice of stable firmware for my WRT54G to add new
options, perhaps increase signal power (if it really works) and tweak
other necessary parameters for best performance/range?

2. Are there other firmware vendors worth looking at on linksys.org?

Thank you
Patty
