We use one of the Linksys models re-flashed with different firmware to
allow
WDS links.  Essentially unlimited repeaters!  Of course, bandwidth becomes
an issue with each hop.  Most of central Bristol will be covered with a
big
wireless network next month (should be next week all being well).

Cheers,
Andy
