Hi -

I have a linksys wrt54g in my basement that sends a wireless signal to
three machines in my house. One is just across the room, one is one
floor up, and the third is my laptop. The machine across the room and
the machine one floor up get their signal just fine, but the laptop
gets rather poor signal when it is positioned on the small desk next to
my bed on the top floor of my house. Moving the wrt54g isn't really an
option due to the way things are set up in the basement, and I'd
strongly prefer not to rearrange the furniture in my bedroom. So what I
thought I might be able to do is to place some sort of device on the
ground floor (physically connected to the machine on that floor, if
neccesary) that receives the signal from the wrt54g and "forwards" it
onto further points in the house. I think if my laptop were to be
pulling its signal from that part of the house, it would be able to get
the signal upstairs just fine. So, a few questions:

A) what device would perform this function? would another wrt54g do the
trick?

B) The machine on the ground floor receives its signal via a linksys
WUSB54G. Does this device have any capability of performing this task?
My belief is that it doesn't, but I am not sure.

For the sake of consistency, I'd prefer whatever device I use to be a
linksys device, but I'm not entirely opposed to looking at other
manufacturers.

Thanks in advance -
