The WRT54G is your bottleneck. It's tech and capabilites have fallen far below what you can get today. As you realise the "g" wireless is limited and will drag down everything else that has to go via it's wireless to anything else.

Ideally you'd want to get an ethernet cable from the superhub to your Linksys's location as if you put a lot of traffic between those networks, the cable will always be superior to any wireless.

If you need wireless in that second location, with the main router (superhub) coverage being inadequate then upgrade the second router to an n standard. Wireless will always be slower than wired.

I doubt any wireless repeater would help you. As you say before any wireless device even in bridge mode can send a signal, it has to receive it. Potentially the repeater would add to bottlenecks, not reduce them.
