Is this like a range extender?

FYI. You can achieve this with any router running Tomato or DD-WRT

Cheapest one right now;

Or get two of these adapters......

I'm pretty sure that the micro version of DD-WRT can be loaded on these as well.

According to the hardware list at dd-wrt's website, it is supported by the micro version.

Thanks, in for one. Should work well with my VIP622 Dish reciever - I am tired of paying the $5/mo charge for no phone connection.

Would this perform in the function of a repeater? I got my wireless router located at one side of the house, and got flaky reception on the other side. Can I set this up in the middle and make it act as a repeater with out it physically connected to a network.
