That's what I think (very wrong).  By power-cycle you mean un/replugging the DC cable?  Ain't tried that yet. BTW, are you saying your device came with DD-WRT installed?  I've not seen that -- even though the 54GL is linux-based, I am not using the stock firmware (gasp). Yes, came with dd-wrt firmware already flashed.  Got it from JefaTech:  http://www.jefatech.com/product/WRT54GL-DDWRT/WRT54GL_Wireless_Router_with_DDWRT.html.  (Spent the extra 20 bux over market to get the one-year's support--though so far I've gotten more juice out of the ddwrt forums). Oh, and, yes, both my antennae are indoors, which is why I have 20% signal strength (not 20% bandwdith)... I got a few more points by futzing around with a semi-parabolic mesh screen (a round campfire-cover thing) placed as a reflector to directionalize about 1/3 of the omni signal.... it could be better, I might try a smaller deep-frying screen closer to the tip of the antenna.  Only my remote (garage) bridge has this added, but I did raise my indoor base station up onto the wall near the ceiling.  Both stations have dual antennae, so I could replace one on each and put in a nice pair of directional tin cans or proper yagis :) Was gonna try the cantenna thing--but found a Yagi for so cheap I couldn't resist.  Hope it's kosher to post a snap of wise old Doctor Yagi:
