Subject: [OS2Wireless] Setting up ADSL wireless router

As with everything, the configuration depends upon what you want to do.

If you want to use your remaining static address for Wi-Fi, then I would 
try setting it to bridged mode and use XWLAN to set the static address 
for the interface.

If you want to use DHCP for Wi-Fi, then select routed mode and let the 
ASUS route your wireless connection to your statically addresses LAN 
(and the internet).

The problem here, of course, is the lack of a true standard when it 
comes to terminology. For LinkSys, bridged mode means bridged to another 
AP, hence my statement about "trying" to bridge the Wi-Fi using bridged 
mode in the ASUS box.
