Yes, I have raised it higher and lower and it does not seem to have much
effect. I have also tested with another linksys WRT54G router and it seemed
to have the same results.

Did you try increasing the Output power in the Wireless->Advanced

Hello Duane,
I have a WRT54GL and have tried out bridge mode on it with DD-WRT. It
does not seem to have a very strong signal in comparision with the
Linksys WET54G ethernet bridge. In the same locations, the WRT54GL
will have a signal strength of 20-30%/-75 DB, and the WET54G will have
a signal strength of 80-90% (but I don't know the DB).
Any idea why this would be? Even a few feet from the router now the
WRT54GL signal shows 50-65% and 35-45 signal...
The WRT54GL would be a much cheaper option if I could figure out how
it can get a signal strength that would match the bridge.
Thanks,
Steven
