Hello Dana,
Wireless bridges that support multiple MAC addresses is tricker. What about
the Linksys WET54G, similar to the WET11. It can bridge multiple MAC addresses. I
would recommend Power over Ethernet, but it's speed is slightly higher than 802.11b
though.

Subject: [nycwireless] Help with wireless bridging
This would seem a simple question to answer, yet I still can't figure out how to make
this work:
I have a D-link DWL-2000AP 802.11g AP connected to my cable modem (wired part of
network also has a linux server). I can connect to my powerbook and my desktop mac to
this AP without issue.
Now, I want to connect another wired network (consisting of a small hub, my TiVo, and
an Ethernet equipped Laser Printer) to the AP. I've tried 2 products which don't seem
to work, as they only support bridging a _single_ ethernet device to a wireless
network (the D-link DWL-2000AP (a second one) and DWL-G810).
Ideally, I could find some device that bridges a wired ethernet network to a wireless
802.11g network, such that the entire network looks like everything is connected
(virtually) to a single hub. I was under the impression that a simple Wireless Bridge
would work, but after trying a bunch of devices, I'm not so sure.
Yes, I could just buy 2 D-link DWL-2000AP devices, but I'd rather not have to spend
_another_ $100. Also, I'd like to run my network in 802.11g mode only, since this
should help performance a little.
Can anyone help with suggestions?
