Bridge with firewall?

I'm considering signing up with a WISP and am having problem finding a
suitable bridge. The company typically uses WET11's from Linksys, but I'm
looking for a bit more.

Can anybody recommend a device that will bridge their wireless signal to my
ethernet network but will also let me do firewalling on the same device? I
basically want one of the cable/DSL routers but for wireless bridging only.
It looks like the BEFW11S4 would do it but from what I read it won't bridge.
I'm not hung up on Linksys products if there is something else out there
that will do this for me.

If there is a device that will let me wireless bridge on one side and have
an AP on the other, that would be great as well. With this I could bridge
the WISP into my LAN as well as hang an AP in my living room for a Tivo,
laptop, etc. And all in one box.

I gather the WISP will only provide you one IP for each account. That being
the case you would need a WET between you and the WISP plugged into the Wan
port of a switch/router (ie. BEFSR41) then one of your PC's and an AP
(ie.WAP11) to the Lan ports if the switch/router. Personally I'd rather use
a WAP11 rather than a WET11 between you and the WISP but you'd have to check
with them if it would work ok. Looks like if you went the Linksys route it
would run you about $250 after shipping and tax. About $20 more if you use
the WET.

Check out the WET11 and WET54g from linksys. The 54g just came out a few
weeks ago and is till expensive. You would be plugging that into one of the
10/100 ports of your router/firewall, and it would provide wireless
connectivity to the rest of your network.
