Hello, I have a Linksys WRT54G and the firmware version is: v1.00.6, can I upgrade it to get access to the repeater or the router is too old?

Thanks

probably can install dd-wrt but it is really old, only support wifi 802.11g 54Mbps.

This is spot on. Freah tomato is another wrt option.

And that 54mbps is max theoretically usally you get about 70% real world and as you want it as a repeter split that connection in 1/2

You might find bargains on newer gear with higher specs at resale shops.
