Your problem is not Linux or Fedora specific. Search the
manufacturers' sites to see if either of your models supports use as a
relay. You can also check http://openwrt.org to see if they have
firmware for your router that provides this feature. If nothing else
buy a wireless range expander, e.g. Linksys WRE54G.
