Linksys WRT54G v. 2 signal strength

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

The same thing happen to me, the new firmware drops your signal strength.
I found the old firmware here

ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/

look for " wrt54g_2.02.7_US_code.zip "

just copy and paste it to your desktop.
