Linksys WET11, a few questions
I'm guessing this is pretty new, because I can't find much info on it.
1. Will it connect to my WAP11 as just another wireless device?
2. Does it grab it's own IP, and what is it, and can it be changed?
3. Can I plug a hub/switch into it, and use it to bridge from a wired network connect to it to another wired network connected to my WAP11?
Thx,
Scott

From my understanding the WET11 turns a desktop with a network card into a wireless machine. So answer to (1) would be yes. (2)The IP address it will get will be determined by your settings in your WAP11, but it would be something like 192.168.1.102. (3) The user guide on the product spells it out much better than I could here , but I think that is one of the product's main purposes (to connect one LAN at one location to the LAN at another to use the common access point to the internet). So it would be like connecting a hub directly to your WAP11, where the WAP11 sets all the IP's. I hope this helps, and isn't what you already knew.
