If your WRT54G doesn't let you use the additional wifi channels, it is
worth updating the firmware to one of the open source versions
(provided it isn't the latest version 7 hardware).

I've had good success with DD-WRT http://www.dd-wrt.com/ - allows you
to unlock the full functionality of the Linksys. It is also compatible
with other manufacturers hardware - I have a client/bridged setup now
with 2 x Buffalo and 1 x Linksys routers providing wired and wireless
access for my slimserver, mac, linux, SB2 in various rooms. Main reason
for me was that the NTL broadband connection is placed inconveniently
and not in the same room as server etc.

As well as more functionality, I've found the DD-WRT firmware to be
much more stable than the stock Linksys (and if you're in the market
for a replacement, the Buffalo WHR-HP-54 (or whatever) gives great
wireless coverage.
