Can I use my MN 700 just to connect 2 computers wireless?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

If you have another LAN card on 4550, use ICS on it to share dialup to its
spare LAN card, which would be connected to MN-700 (set as an access point or
bridge).
Before setting MN-700 as access point setup wireless security on it.
