Won't it work with anything else? I have a SMC 2655W AP already. It's a dumb "B" AP device. Does Access control and WEP. I went to CompUSA, and I was going to get a Linksys WET11, but saw that there was a Netgear WG602v3 http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WG602v3.asp. Since the box had a diagram showing the 602 connected to a hub, with wired devices, and stated that it could be bridged, and had "G" functions, I decided to purchase that. It was the same price as the "B" only WET11. I have the 602 setup to be in Point-to-Point bridge mode. For now, I disabled it's wireless client portion. I turned off Access Control in the 2655W. I set it to the following: 1. I had it generate keys, and I used the same Hex values (cut/paste) on the existing AP. (I've noticed that some devices don't use the same passphrase translation.) 2. I set it to use Open, and Long preamble. 3. I set it to be "B" only. 4. I can 'see' the other AP in the bridge table. I can see the channel, SSID, and signal strength. This is supposed to mean that I have configured the WEP and channels correctly. However, no device appears to get a DHCP response via the unit. Neither wired or wireless (when I reenabled the wireless client support.) I have no clue. Stan Sidlov -- http://www.warpstock.org Warpstock 2004 wasin Denver, Colorado!
