I am looking into setting up a Wireless bridge with my Speedtouch 580 which is an ADSL modem and router in one also offering a 4 port switch and Wireless AP. What I'd like to know is, if I buy a WL-500g, can I set it up to bridge to a network upstairs.
So:
internet <-ADSL-> ST580 <-WLAN-> WL-500g <---> LAN (wired)
The Speedtouch does offer WDS and is already a NAT and DHCP so for that I don't really need the WL-500g. I just would like to bridge from the ground floor, two floors up to my computer room which has 3 computers which I'd like to cable-connect to the 500g. (and of course I'd like to use the printer port and possible ftp-server).
And of course the WLAN connection has to be encrypted (using WPA, or some sort).
Cheers,
B
