Did you try increasing the Output power in the Wireless->Advanced Settings->Xmit Power option?

Hello Duane, I have a WRT54GL and have tried out bridge mode on it with DD-WRT. It does not seem to have a very strong signal in comparision with the Linksys WET54G ethernet bridge. In the same locations, the WRT54GL will have a signal strength of 20-30%/-75 DB, and the WET54G will have a signal strength of 80-90% (but I don't know the DB). Any idea why this would be? Even a few feet from the router now the WRT54GL signal shows 50-65% and 35-45 signal... The WRT54GL would be a much cheaper option if I could figure out how it can get a signal strength that would match the bridge.
