I think that "Bridge Mode" is documented for the WAP-11. I have not found it to be available for the combo WAP/router/switch Linksys boxes in stock form. Apparently the ones that run Linux internally can be reprogrammed to do lots of interesting things.
So, my testing this morning has left me thoroughly unimpressed with the WAP-11.
All configuration (if you want to be sure that the configuration is actually working) must be done with a Windows client via USB. The firmware purports to support:
* Access Point mode (be a, well, access point)
* Access Point Client (be a wireless client, associate with an AP, and anything plugged into the ethernet port is now wirelessly linked up to the AP)
* Wireless Bridge, point-to-point
* Wireless Bridge, point-to-multipoint
The documentation states that in either of the Wireless Bridge modes, the WAP-11 will only connect to another Wireless Bridge mode WAP-11. Damned useless, that.
for the life of me, though, I couldn't configure the WAP-11 in Access Point Client mode and actually get it to work.
It works just fine as a normal WAP, though.
I'd have to concur with Carl, here, and say that what we want can probably be done with a re-flashed WRT54g.
