the expense of buying a wireless card for all of them. Do you guys know of any good wireless to ethernet bridges for this? Or could I just get a wireless card for one of them and then bridge the connection in the computer and connect to an ethernet switch?...

802.3, Token Bus 802.4, Token > Ring 802.5, DQDB 802.6, BPDU 802.1 The Ethernet protocols are 802.3. While Token Ring can be kind of sort of bridged to Ethernet through brute force and awfulness combined with finesse and fancy footwork it's not really...

router: - une ethernet port dedicated to provider (DHCP and PPPOE capable) - one LAN port which would be linked to some switch - wireless repeter BUT but BUT: I want the wireless interface NOT TO BE BRIGED to LAN ethernet, but rather require any client...

These networks are > joined by a gateway. Are you talking only about level two, that is ethernet& token ring? Or IP? Makes a big difference. Also, define gateway. While it's is technically possible to bridge ethernet& token ring, it's not common....

including the STP traffic. In that way I hope that the intermediate switches will just forward the BPDUs used for STP, and not look into the contents of these frames. The question: How will an Ethernet switch react to incoming BPDUs that are VLAN tagged?...

side of the wireless link? You're mixing up two technologies and acronyms. A bridge is a two port switch. A switch is a bridge with more than two ports. A wireless bridge acts like a two port switch, where it builds a MAC address to port table and only...

of any traffic congestion issues. The bridge need not be ethernet at both ends. It can be ethernet on one port and wireless 802.11 on the other port. It can also be fiber optic to ethernet, wireless to wireless, ethernet to ethernet, and so on. The...

Can I plug a multi port ethernet switch into my WET11 wireless bridge (which would be cheaper) or do I have to by another wireless bridge to connect a second wired device to my wireless network. Thanks in advance for any help.. I currently have a Linksys WET11...

wireless to ethernet bridge (FD7330), and LINKSYS 5 port ethernet switch (EZXS55W). I connected NSLU2 , media player DSM-320 & Wireless Bridge FD7330 to the switch EZXS55W. I thought that the bridge will connect NSLU2 & DSM320 to the second floor router....
