You could look into Tomato. It's simpler to set up.

Subject: [clue-tech] Request for Comments: Wireless repeater 

My mother keeps asking me for technology. She uses her neighbor's wireless 
to get on the internet, with permission thankfully. The connection is near 
the limit for her nearly G wireless laptop. 

So she needs a wireless repeater. My first impulse is a Linksys dd-wrt 
flashed router in a repeater mode. Not a problem. 

But before I ship it, I'd thought I ask around for comments. Different 
hardware is a possibility but I'd like something that could be reconfigured 
back to a standard router later on. 

Different software is a possibility too. I'm not set on dd-wrt, it's just 
the first thing that jumps to mind. 

Oh and remote support is high on the list. My mom is not that technical. 
She's learning but anything more complicated than programming her vcr and 
she's lost. 

thanks! 
Mike
