Need help with extending a wireless router's range with another wireless router

Hi all;

Just upgraded from an 802.11b wireless router to 802.11g (both Linksys).
Am noticing increased wireless transmission speeds with the -g, which is
broadcasting in both -b and -g frequencies.

Was wondering if there's a way to use the old -b router to act as a
"repeater" to pick up and extend the -g's wireless range (albeit at -b
speeds).

Thanks!

Interesting question

I'd say no, cause isn't the difference based on hardware and the wireless
frequencies?
