being the WHRG has 1 antenna it may affect the 14 users if they are on at one time. being that is the only antenna to transmit and receive traffic. if i recall, the WHRG's were faster and had a better chipset than the WRT series? that could help.
i know on the dual antenna versions you can specify what you want to transmit and receive
I would try your existing router to see how it does. If you want something very nice check out http://www.ubnt.com/products/
The AP1000 would for sure do the trick and you would not have to upgrade the clients. Ubiquiti will soon have a 1000mw version of the tiny PicoStation. Either of these should support 30-35 clients max. The 100mw PicoStation is only $49.99 but pricing is not out for the high power version. The SR9 is a 900MHz mini PCI card generally used for long distance point to point networking. Your existing Buffalo with dd-wrt should have no problem with all clients connected. If you do run into problems with weak signal you can always replace the antenna even if it is not removable (soldering required). No matter what you use, the location of the AP will be important. If you have a clear line of sight from each client to the AP your set. A ceiling mount antenna might be something to look into. Why don't you go ahead and try the Buffalo AP and see how it works?
that WRT350N is a beefy one, my friend got one recently and put dd-WRT Gigantic on it its nuts he has it vpn'd into his network and he can do resolutions wihtout making a connection kinda neat.
you can also try to setup that USB port to be used as a print server i think.
i belive so, let me take a quick look and i'll edit the post
he told me you had to flash with mini, then flash with gigantic
edit its called Mega
Link?
I thought the "mega" was just the regular... as in, opposite of "mini"...
I have a Proxim ap-4000 with over 20 users on it in a 18,000 sq ft building with nothing but the internal antenna and it works great.

They can be had for around $400. I know that is a little pricey but I have been running it for several years with no problems.
GS models are stripped down versions of what the popular models were 1-2 years ago. The GL is the last in the line of linux/open source units.
thats what i find about the wrt54g stuff ... so you're best bet would be the GL if you want to run DD-WRT
i'll talk to my friend about it today, i see him in class after work. i'll get back to you afterwards
