I have a Linksys Wireless-B Access Point with a Wireless-B USB Network Adapter, Model #: WAP11 - Access Point & WUSB11v4 Network Adapter.

Here is a picture of it: http://i.ebayimg.com/10/!BUiKCz!BWk~$(KGrHgoH-DgEjlLlgJ6SBKN+HiKR!!~~_1.JPG (copy & paste the link since it won't display correctly)

And I believe this is the correct product listing in amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WAP11-.../dp/B00005854B

I got it for $10. Quite a steal if you ask me. I was wondering if it was possible to use it as a wireless bridge. I believe this is what it's meant for:

Internet -> Modem -> Router -> Access Point -> Wifi enabled device

This is what I was hoping I could do:

Internet -> Modem -> Router -> Access Point -> Ethernet connection

Here's my router: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ksys%20wrt54gs

I was hoping I could take the wireless output from my router and convert it to a wired connection using the access point. It has one ethernet port in the back.

Just wondering if it's possible since it's pretty much useless to me otherwise, except as a signal boost.

Thanks!
