Hi - Anybody able to make this work?
I have a linksys set up with a mix of wired and wireless devices hung off
the router. I bought a new Linksys 5 port switch and it works if I hard
wire the switch to the router, then other devices connected to the switch.
The reason I bought it was to share devices off a wireless connection. I
have a PC running off a WET11 and it works fine. When I try to plug the
WET11 into the switch, then the PC into the switch, the switch does not
appear to see the WET11. The switch manual (EZX55?) says it can connect to
any device, and the WET11 says it can connect to switches. I can not get it
to work! Anyone know how?

Are you aware of the small crossed/straight (X/II) switch on the
WET11? I must be set to crossed if connected directly to a PC, and
straight if connected to a switch/hub.

Yes - I tried the switch in both positions. Any other ideas?
