ok, im just wondering how i could set this up.. i have a wireless network in my house. i have a linksys WRT54G wireless router, and its attached to the cable modem. all other computers connect to this router, either by cable or wirelessly. there are 2 wired and 3 wireless computers connected at the moment. now, i have another computer, which i want to put in a remote location that i cant run a cable to, and it doesnt have a wireless card, but it does have a NIC card. i also have a linksys WAP11 access point. could i connect this computer to the WAP11 (using a patch cable) and use that to connect to my router? or would i have to get another WAP11 and bridge them?

From my knowledge no, because there is one NIC on a access point, it normally grabs the internet connection from the NIC and passes it Via Wireless...it has no routing capability or as far as i know capability of grabbing a wireless connection from a router and passing as it as well because that would require routing...your best bet is just buying a PCI Wireless network card for the machine if it a desktop, or a PCMCIA card for the machine if it is a laptop and letting it connect wireless to your router...if it is to far away from the router then you will have to run a cable halfway inbetween the machine and the router and attach your access point to the cable and then it can pass the internet to your machine...and i dont exactly understand what you mean when you said "would i have to get another WAP11 and bridge them" because depending on the model of the access point i dont beleive you can do bridgeing unless you are dealing with Cisco...what kind of AP do you have??

there are a number of wireless bridges on the market. you can't use two AP as a bridge though Fyi

i have a linksys WAP11, and you can bridge 2 of them. beleive me, ive tried it before with a friend's AP ok, thats what i thought. just making sure there wasnt an easier way. hmm, how about if i were to use an older linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router. could that be used as a solution? or no..
