You know, I can get it to lock onto the neighbor's AP in client mode, but I can't get on the internet through it. DD-WRT FAQ was zero help on the subject. Maybe I'm stupid. ???

My Motorola WR850G (can also run DD-WRT) was $17 to the door.

I doubt you care about fiddling routers, but eBay is an idea.
