After many conflicting reports, I can confirm that the Belkin
F5D7230-4 can be used as wireless Access Point/Bridge. Technically,
I'm not certain which one it is classified as, but here is the set
up.....
----------------------------------------------
| Bedroom | Living Room |
| | |
| | F5D7230-4 |
| F5D7230-4 | (Number2) |
| (Number1) | / | \ |
| | / | \ |
| | Xbox ReplayTV HTPC |
| | |
-------------------------------------------
Belkin 1 is wired/connceted to the Internet.
Belkin 2 has Xbox, ReplayTV, HTPC all wired to it.
Belkin 2 is set to AP and is not wired to Belkin 1.
Belkin 1 will assign an IP address to the wired devices on Belkin 2.
I have internet connection on all devices (computer in bedroom, Xbox,
ReplayTv HTPC.
Maybe this isnt news to everyone, but I heard at least 3 conflicting
reports from people who should have known (Belkin Sales rep at a
CompUSA said it wouldn't work, Sales Guy at a different CompUSA
location swore it would work, Belkin phone tech said that it would
not)
IT DOES WORK. I am running it now.
