I am trying to trouble shoot a connectivity problem with a
Microsoft MN-700 Wireless Base Unit Router Access Point
and a Linksys Range Expander WRE54G.

I can't get the Range Expander to "find" the MN-700.

Linksys Tells me that the Access Point being "expanded"
needs to support WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
support.

I am unable to determine if the MN-700 supports this or
not.

Does anyone know for sure if this MN-700 does or does not
support this feature?

Thank you.

The MN700 does NOT support WDS, sorry.

The WRE54G is only compatiable with Linksys Routers and Access points,
thats why its not working with your MN-700.
