Use a Linksys router to extend an AirPort network
Authored by: neffs on Jun 09, '06 05:05:01AM

I would like to add a few things:

I think almost all firmwares available for the WRT54 series should support WDS, as all firmwares use a proprietary tool from broadcom (the chipset manufacturer) for setup of the wlan module.
I would recommend DD-WRT (for beginners, uses an extended version of the original web interface) and OpenWRT (for linux users).

I don't know if it works with the AirPort Base Station, but i wouldn't ever use a WLAN without encryption.

Spoofing the MAC-Adress is quite easy with some adapters, so it doesn't help much and even if you don't change your MAC-adress you can still record all the traffic on the net. Which means your neighbour will know your passwords if you send them unencrypted and can read your Mails.
