I have a linksys befw11sr connected to the internet, a few pc's with cat 5
and it acts as an access point for wireless devices (my laptop).
I have an xbox, tivo, and 2 pc's in another room that I can't reach with
cat5 and I get a very weak wireless signal there.
Is there a device that will act as an access point and allow me to hook up a
hub so that I can get all the devices on the network and use wireless
devices in room? I know 1 wap11 doesn't do this, but does the wet11?

The wet11 is a bridge. You can use two of them to extend your network
through areas where you can't run a wire.
I use two wet11's to bridge a firewall (a litereal concrete block
firewall) at work, since fire codes don't allow penetrations in the
firewall. Plug a hub/switch into the remote wet11 and you have a
seamless extended network.

Thanks for that info.. Will wireless devices and devices on the hub be able
to use the wet11? Basicall can the WET11 act as a repeater and access point
at the same time.
