Hello Guys,

Before you guys would suggest DD-WRT firmware... Unfortunately my model is not supported :( .

1. I have a New WIFI Router/Modem configured.
2. I want to use my Old WRT54G v7.00.8 as a repeater to extend my range but without any wired connection.

Is this possible? if not then I will have to use wired method.

No DD-WRT = No Wireless Distribution Service (WDS) on your model.

You'll have to use the ethernet cable.

See if this could be of any help: Guide to setting up WDS on the WRT54G/WRT54GS - LinksysInfo
