I doubt that you could build anything better or cheaper than you can buy off the shelf Jon  

Is the low rate affecting you in anyway like dropping your connection ?
If its just slow transfer from pc to pc on your wlan then maybe upgrading to 54G may be the solution

yeh iv only got 22 at the mo so i think an upgrade to 54 would be a better option...would tht increase the signal strength?

Not necessarily, but it would increase the transfer rate of your wlan if its slowing down due to a large distance between your wi fi enabled pcs as the rate drops depending on distance from the access point
