Best answer!!

I belong to Monteregie Sans Fils - a non-profit wifi alliance here in the Monteregie region of Quebec - and I install wifi in many restaurants, coffeshops, libraries and bars.

One of our rules, is clients must use our supplied routers ... and the only router we use, is the Linksys WRT54G, or WRT54GS (version 4 only).

This router can be flashed with Tomato or DD-WRT, if your inner geek wants to turn up the RX/TX power (be sure you read the documentation for the firmware replacements and understand the risks/pros/cons) - but is a very capable router that, in ideal situations, will throw a usable signal in a 150 meter radius of the router - right out of the box without any firmware flashing.

You can find these routers on ebay for usually less than $50
