Can't figure out how to connect my networks..

I have a linksys befw11sr connected to the internet, a few pc's with cat 5
and it acts as an access point for wireless devices (my laptop).

I have an xbox, tivo, and 2 pc's in another room that I can't reach with
cat5 and I get a very weak wireless signal there.

Is there a device that will act as an access point and allow me to hook up a
hub so that I can get all the devices on the network and use wireless
devices in room? I know 1 wap11 doesn't do this, but does the wet11?

The wet11 is a bridge. You can use two of them to extend your network
through areas where you can't run a wire.

I use two wet11's to bridge a firewall (a litereal concrete block
firewall) at work, since fire codes don't allow penetrations in the
firewall. Plug a hub/switch into the remote wet11 and you have a
seamless extended network.

Thanks for that info.. Will wireless devices and devices on the hub be able
to use the wet11? Basicall can the WET11 act as a repeater and access point
at the same time.

The wet11 is just a bridge. It is not an AP (as a bridge, it runs in ad
hoc mode). If you connect to it, you do so in ad hoc mode.

It basically just replaces a section of wiring.

LAN ----> wet11 wet11 -----> LAN

Oh... doesn't the WAP11 do the same thing?

Could you draw for me how I would add wireless devices to both of those lans as well wired devices. Assume that one of the Lans has internet access (cable modem) and I want all devices to be able to access it

The wap11 may do the same thing. I don't have one of those.

Cable modem

router/AP (wireless router or router with AP plugged in)
|
wired computers and wet11 --> wet11

wireless computers hub/switch
|
wired
computers + AP

wireless
computers

If you let the router distribute DHCP addresses, both LAN segments can
be on the same subnet.
