I bought two Asus wireless bridges (WL-330g) for $50 each to use with a WRT54G; they've worked great. One is connected to a switch (with 'clone mac address' off), it works well as a wireless bridge. It can also work in access point mode. I've tried wireless bridging with WRT54Gs, and it hasn't worked near as well as the Asus bridge. -dave On Wednesday 31 August 2005 17:26, Nicholas Thompson wrote: > Hey tclugers, > I am wondering if someone can help me with what I assume is an easy > problem.
