You can convert a WRT54G Linksys wireless router to work as a bridge by
loading sveasoft's software (http://www.sveasoft.com). It runs linux, so if
you're inclined you can tinker with it. The last time I checked the best
price, delivered, was $60 from amazon.com.
Do you know the mfg/model of the $29 Compusa router?
