Question : Connecting wired network (switch) to Wireless Access Point

Dear Experts,

I have a local network consisting of 4 PCs connected into a switch.

I have a Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Point connected to my main router.

What hardware do I need to connect to the switch to enable my 4 wired clients access to Aironet's wireless network?

Will the 3COM OfficeConnect device do it?

Thanks

Nick

Answer : Connecting wired network (switch) to Wireless Access Point

You can setup the 3CRWER100-75 as a wireless bridge.

What you need to do:
The 3CRWER100-75 has a WDS tab. You need to enable WDR which is in fact bridging.

Note that you need both devices to have the mac adress of each other for bridging, both devices must be on the same channel and both devices need the same SSID.

There should be no extra hardware needed to bridge both devices. I do not have experience in bridging 3com to a Cisco, but I assume it should be possible as it works fine with linksys., which is a division of Cisco.
