You need either (a) "wireless Ethernet (client) bridge" wired to your
computer, or (b) wireless repeater (WDS), but that tends to be
problematic when mixing brands. The WRT54GC is intended to work with a
wired Ethernet connection, so it's not suitable for your needs. Your
best bet may be a better antenna on your wireless adapter.
