In one room I have and ActionTech Modem (DSL) it is running Wireless G and B.
Off the Computer port of it is and 8 port switch All COmputer can access
each other and the WWW. I have a MN-510 for one desktop in another room and
an MN-520 for my laptop all work great with in Broadcast Range!

No I have an MN -500 I wan't to use "simply" as a bridge to boost power
(speed) for the MN-510 and MN-520.

I want to do this Wirelessly, that is I don't want to run a wire clear
across the house from the switch to the MN-500!!!

I wan't to use the proven WAP of the Actiontech and the MN-500 to boost the
signal to the MN-510 and MN-520 at the other end of the house.

Is not a good solution because it say I have to run a cable across the house.

Is there hope, is help on the way?

I read somewhere else where someone took there MN-500 back to the store,
because they thought this would not work...

I turn off

The MN-500 can only be used wired to your router. It will not act
independently. Sorry.
