Wireless Bridge with DD-WRT Primer
DD-WRT: http://www.dd-wrt.com/
The Cantenna is no longer available for purchase.
Note: this process is meant for 802.11B and 802.11G only. I have not tested with 802.11N and have no idea how it will respond on an N-network.

Note: you can probably piece this together a lot cheaper with parts from Radio Shack!
Note: you need to know what connector is on your router, PM me if you need assistance!

(note he describes this as a Wireless Bridge, a Repeater Bridge is the one that I said gimps the range and bandwidth)
Notes:
If you want to pick up a WRT54G off Craigslist, make sure you get one that has removable antennas, and make sure you don't get one that has v7.0 stamped on the bottom, as it will not run DD-WRT. I have a v2.0 and its great.
The WRT54G v2.0 uses a RP-TNC connector!
