I had one like that. They had an issue with their WRT54G version 5. It should say on the bottom of the router which version it is. That's the one I had. I got tired of it and got a WRT54GS with SpeedBooster 4 months ago and so far no issues and it works great.
By the way most 3rd party firmwares won't work on Versions 5.0 or later on either the 54G or 54GS and in some cases will fry your router.
As far as range, my PSP that uses and internal wireless B antenna can pick up at least 10% signal at 180 feet outside and the 54GS is inside toward the front of the house and I was walking in the back yard and I was walking down a slope. Wanted to go father but ran out of yard. I'll run more tests later.
