#113 — Using an old Linksys WRT54GL to extend wireless network?

Hello.

Is it possible to use an inactive (in storage) over five/5 years old 
Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G 54Mbps router v1.1 to connect to an active 
Netgear R6300 router in terms of wireless network? I am trying to see if 
I could use it to expand the wireless network, no network cables, since 
some far away areas have weak spots. Both of these routers currently 
have their (lat/new)est) stock firmwares. If it is possible, then how do 
I do that? I hope it's easy.

Thank you in advance. :)

Put DD-Wrt on it. Then you can

Thanks, so I can't use stock firmwares. Is it easy to do and connect?

No, stock wont do it ;-)

Is easy to do if you follow the guide on DD-wrt.com

If any problems, i will help you set it up. DD-wrt on that router makes 
it the time worth.

Sorry for my english, it is not my first launguage and i have a great 
deal of pain for the time being ;-)

Simply follow the guide at dd-wrt.com. Shouldn't be that hard.
