Milan, It seems like you need a wireless client to connect to your Linksys AP and a cheap router to connect between your hardwired PC's and the wireless client. It sounds like you had this in mind with the DWL-900AP+. A Linksys WET11 (about USD 100) might act as the wireless client. Check with Linksys support to see if they agree. Siemens has a line of SOHO routers for around $40.

But then i think i would lose other functionality since most of these routers only operate in one mode. So ATM i'm thinking that I need to return the DWL-900AP+ for another device? any ideas for what type of hardware i need? or a config i missed? thanks, milan -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
