Search the web for linksys firmware mods and you shoudl find a site that gives you firmware that activates the engine (also allows you to install an sd card and use the router as an ftp server, 1 gig max)
The issue is that Linksys doesnt make a wireless N with an outdoor caseing. Thats why I was thinking about the outdoor wireless G they offer but the range on that is not quite good enough.

Is there anyway to set up a wireless peer to peer network between two PCs that can then select and access another item equiped with an access point or would I have to do this at configuration?

Or, does anyone know of a MIMO range booster?

Thanks,
