I use this and it works very well: http://www.portless.net/menu/ewrt/ I haven't tried the following yet but I believe it makes the unit into a client to another AP (someone correct me if I have this wrong) Under: [Wireless][Basic Wireless Settings][Wireless Mode] [AP/Client] choose "Client" It also does WDS if other units are available in which the unit connects to a "mesh" of AP's and where all the SSID's are the same you can "roam". I still have to try this out myself. RBW -- KPLUG-Steer mailing list [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
