Can this be used as a router and a bridge at the same time? If yes, how?

From my experience working with these units you can only have the access point in one mode. However you can link the Bullet to a switch and have a Nanostation M2 Rocket M2 on that switch, and p;ace it in the router mode to resolve you challenge.

I don't remember. I don't have them in my hand anymore. Your best bet is to call tech support.

I have never tried this but doubt it. You need to go modem > router > switch. I don't see any reason to go with what you are suggesting.

Yes you can! This router will have 4 Ethernet ports and you can connect additional devices with a switch, as well as wireless devices to the Wi-Fi connection.

Yes it does work as an access point. But it is intended to be used as a bridge. Ie.. From one building to another.

No - I tried this. It will act as a wireless bridge, but it only appears to bridge between another device over wi-fi, not through ethernet. I suspect they did not want to put in the extra effort to convert packets from ethernet to wi-fi and back.

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.

No, you can connect the unit directly to a standard router or switch - hub. This will link both network environments.

No, you cannot use this as a router. as all have said below. it is mainly used, as others have stated, to increase how many devices you can plug into your intranet and internet.

you can do that using ddwrt which is a free OS for routers that allows you to do things that you cannot do with out of the box software. Be carefull when installing it or you may brick your device. read carefully before doing it so that you understand the risks/rewards.ddwrt main page:http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/indexddwrt page for cisco e2000http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_E2000ddwrt page on how to do bridging that you want:http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_BridgeenjoyLuis

I found this review:http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30778/96/that seems to indicate that you can use it with a switch -- but only if you configure the bridge with a static IP. Seems like the bridge should request its own IP. In any case, this is probably adequate for my needs.Thanks for the info about the D-Link, although, aren't the WAN/Internet ports on routers 10mb? Maybe that's changed. I do hope someone eventually produces a reasonably-priced bridge with a built-in switch.

You cannot use this as a router, you would need to turn your computer off to work this switch.

I believe you can. But to be honest I'm currently running DD-WRT on it (which I know for a FACT will let you do it, I use DD-WRT on another router to do just that).

These have both a bridge and router mode. So you can use them without an additional router.

My understanding is that you can cascade them. I have this connected to a four port router with other stuff off the other router ports. Everything can connect.

It's not a router, but connecting one of the ports to a router might work. You'd still need a router somewhere in your network.

Yes you can. That is exactly what I needed to do. I went from the modem to the switch. And then from the switch to two different routers.

You can do either as both will work, though you have less chance of an overload of traffic onto a single cable/pipe if you plug each into the router itself.
