Compare the signal strengths using Windows XP's wifi meter (crude), or the finer Kismet or Netstumbler meters both before and after the shielding to see how effective it is. You should also enable the securest wireless options supported (possibly WPA or WPA2, also MAC filtering). Prices on eBay for used WRT54GC units are about $30+shipping. Used WRT54G units are about the same price, but have removeable antennas, 3rd party firmware options, and their wireless units can be disabled. If you sold the WRT54GC's and bought WRT54G's the dollars would be nearly a wash. Time and coordination of the swaps is another issue entirely. I suggest replacing the WRT54GC units with WRT54G's, as the best and cleanest long-term solution, although not the easiest solution. -Haudy Kazemi
