[Sussex] WiFi Networking update

[Mark Harrison]

Diego,

The fact it acts as a bridge is the very reason that I recommend the Linksys
in the first place!

The Linksys have a (Windows-only) GUI configuration program, which has a
"which mode - AP or bridge?" dialog box on the front screen.

No idea about the DLink.

Lucky you...

I have a similar setup and have not been able to configure the WAP as
a bridge. Its annoying because my home network is segmented!

Pardon my ASCII!  :-)

All I want to do is dumb down the Dlink 614+ so that it acts as a
bridge. Both routers have a 4 port hub/swtch.

Where did you find the option the set your Linksys as a bridge?
