What 'new box'?
It's pretty simple, you need two radios. One to make the link to shore and
the other to provide an on-boat wireless network. I've had success using a
pair of WRT54GS routers to do this. I've loaded the dd-wrt firmware on
them. It works quite well. There are any number of other ways you could
configure it. But given the low cost and wide availabiilty of dd-wrt
compatible routers, well, why bother?

What part of "talk to me like an idiot" did you not get Bill? :-)
The other box was/is a receiver box. But it apparently will not work with the Linksys we now have. Or so we have been told.
What is a dd-wrt router?
I'm assuming it both receives and broad casts WiFi?
And do you recomment an particular brand over an others?
Have the model number for a Linksys or other dd-wrt handy?
I called Linksys support and very carefully explained to them what I was trying to do but they tried to tell me it could not be done. Of course me not speaking Hindi may have been the problem.
Thanks.
