Need an Access Point and a Wireless Bridge

Hi,

We have a big Wireless LAN network with a few Accesspoints and
omnidirectional antennas. We want to connect the the networks so
that there is one network.

There are a few separate networks and I have to connect them. So I
have to configure my AccessPoint (D-Link DWL 900AP+) as Wireless
Multipoint Bridge so that I can bridge between the three networks.

But when the AP is in bridging mode, it does not accept clients any more,
so I have no access to the WLAN with my own wireless clients.

Is there a solution or a device that can act as a multipoint bridge AND as
access point at the same time to solve my problem?

I could have two access points but this isn't a good solution because
I must not have more than one antenna on my roof so it would be great
if there would be a solution that works with one antenna.

Thanks a lot

Peter

If you turn on the DHCP wthin the 900ap+ and then turn it off again
the machines seem to work. I was/am having similar problems and that
seemed to fix it. I added a range at the upper range of what my 614+
was giving out.
