I would like ou use my WAG54G as a repeater. I have downloaded and installed the latest version of the firmware (1.03.0_beta4). I can see that the WDS is enable on the linksys, bur I can connect to internet or lan with it. Do you have a example of linksys configuration to use as a repeater, i have enables the WDS option, but it’s not enough; Thanks for you help.

David says:
What other Wifi device are you using in your setup? Is the WAG54G to be a master or slave device?
Have you entered all the relevant MAC as allowed WDS clients? Often a wifi router will have multiple MACs (adsl, ethernet, wifi) and you have to use the wifi MAC specifically or the device will not be accepted as a WDS client.

Could you give as some links with the latest beta version 1.03.0_beta4?
Thanks.

Where can I find the (1.03.0_beta4)?

David says:
It was a unofficial beta. I either got it from http://ftp.linksys.com or some user shared it after receiving it from Linksys support.
Try to google for it.

First lan ports, now adls: all gone. So, it’s possible to use as a repeater or not? Regards

David says:
Yes, the Linksys WAG54G (v1) can be used as a repeater with the correct firmware (1.03.0_beta4).

Any update on your experience with this so far?
Thanks

David says:
Both good and bad.
The WAG54G now extend the signal to areas that did not have WiFi access before but it is just as unstable as before… requiring a reboot/restart every single day.
