Since you already have the Sveasoft firmware you can enable WDS and use
one WRT54G as an extender to the main one.
Linksys also sells a wireless extender which rebroadcasts signal from a WAP, WRE54G. But there may be a simpler way: WRT54G has detachable antennas, so you can buy a high-gain antenna for it, Linsys makes some but there are also third-party antennas. With a good antenna this WAP has a huge range. Make sure you have security enabled :)
How are the routers placed right now?
I have a couple for Internet connectivity only that are ~60 feet apart
and I get 20Mbps between endpoints.
Also it would make sense if you can to run a wire from your BE to the
router since WDS would cut bandwidth in half.
