I've been using DD-WRT on a Linksys WRT54GS for a few years
attached to an old 18" satellite that I modified as an antenna. It
has been working great for picking up a signal from one building
across a small parking lot we have. Last week, it quit working
(mostly). It still appears to connect to the other router, but
just barely. The internet isn't usable due to packet loss, ping
isn't reliable, etc. <br>
<br>
I'm trying to figure out what might have gone wrong. Could the
WRT54GS be starting to fail and the radio isn't quite as powerful
as it once was? It seems to work at short range, but not the long
range it was doing. Is there a way to get real time feedback from
DD-WRT on signal strength so I could try to tweak the satellite
dish's angle more effectively? Other suggestions?</blockquote>

Yes.....very possible that it's the WRT54GS, however, if I were you,
I'd replace all the cables to it and leaving it...one at a time
first. You can't tell by looking at a cable, frequently, if it's bad
nor not. <br>
