Does anyone know if this can also be used as a bridge or wireless access point?

I picked up one of these for $5 from the egg-heads to try to use as a wireless bridge. From what I can tell, it has a proprietary repeater mode that only works if you have multiple N150 routers. I do not see a way to use this as a bridge to another type of router.

I wasn't able to get it to work with a Poe wireless bridge. But our network eng was setting up a vlan at the same time and we were having problems with that.

No it is only a bridge. It is NOT a router. Also it is not on the DD-WRT list.

It is possible to install wireless ethernet bridge that should allow you to bypass the need to run ethernet wire to the individual handsets. There are multiple available options, including those that run through ethernet communications through your power lines. I would avoid power line bridges if possible, but those are useful if you can't get the signal through the walls or the distance in you facilities. Western Digital WDBMRD0000NBL is completely wireless bridge and one of my favorites. NOTE: I did not try this approach for the purpose of communicating with the this particular system.

The answer remain the same, "No". But there is one incorrect reply "modum attached to the router in order to get the signal". This device can be used to bridge from a wireless network to a wired device. Example, this device can bridge between McD's open wireless network to a wired-only laptop.

It is made for sending and receiving but can't do both simultaneously. However a wireless to wired bridge and vice versa can be setup.

I bought two of them to set up a wireless bridge from my house to a wireless web cam and they work excellent.I am not sure what you are using them for, when you mention switches. All I can tell you is that I needed to buy 2 of them to send the signal from 1 of them which is used as an aceess point to receive the signal from the router in my house and then sends the signal to the other unit which is connected to the web cam across the street.The second unit receives the wireless signal and feeds it to the web cam. I am very satisfied with the units and reccomend them to anyone that needs to set up a wireless bridge.

No, You can make it in a bridge mode with a different SSID on the same network.

This is supposed to provide the capability to be used as a "wireless bridge" with the same SSID name, but I have not been able to get thst to work. Could be my inability, not necessarily the system

There's no reason why you couldn't, however the unit is quite large. Depending on your application, you may be better off with a nanostation for this access point.

You can use this router as a wireless access point. I have one of these routers connected to my main router in wireless repeater mode to get stronger signal in another part of my house. I also have three computers connected to the same wireless repeater via Ethernet so that I do not have to have wireless adapters for each of them to connect to my wireless network.

This is only for expanding the number of wired network ports. It is not intended or designed for wireless use.

You can use a wireless bridge adapter. The cost would likely make this impractical unless you have one lying around or need it for something else. You can also use the ethernet port on a laptop to bridge the wifi internet signal, but this probably isn't practical for extended use from an environmental standpoint. http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-WNCE2001-Universal-Internet-Adapter/dp/B007CO5DZ4/

No. You can use either the Firewire OR the USB to connect to the enclosure, but the device does not work as a bridge.

It was designed for a wired network, so yes, it definitely works that way. You would need some sort of ethernet to wireless bridge if you actually did want it wireless. However, for the second question, it can only be accessed by 1 device at a time. When one tv/computer logs into it, the device is "locked" and no other device can log in, unfortunately.

FYI - a cheaper solution is to buy a cheap used wireless router and set it up as a wireless bridge. I purchased one used for $29.99 . I now have my bd-p1600 hardwired to the bridge and it works great.. I am using dd-wrt on both..

I didn't try... I guess, yes you can. As a device working as wireless router and access point I think it could be possible.
