Hello, I've just set up a Broadband router from Linksys model WRT54G to share a Broadband connection, but not to share files etc. It is working fine, however what would I need, to send the wireless signal futher. I currently can't move the router to another position. I found a Linksys Wre54g expander but I can't seem to find it avaliable in the UK. Would an bigger antenna or access point be needed. If so, what can you reccommend. Thank You
