It may be possible, if you're willing to work at it. But it's not easy.

There's alternative firmware called DD-WRT that can run on many versions of the classic LinkSys WRT54G. See my reference, below.

If you've got one of the good versions of the WRT54G, read and follow the directions carefully to install DD-WRT. Once you've done so, read and follow the directions for setting it up as a repeater.

It does work; I've used one this way, myself.
