A quick question about mn-500 bridging

First off, thank you everybody for the great support your
providing, it has really helped me out.

I have a Linksys Wireless B router upstairs connected to
2 computers and I have a single computer downstairs. I
bought an mn-500 and read Barb's Article but cannot
figure this out. Can I plug the mn-500 into the
downstairs computer and in bridging mode, have it connect
to the Linksys B router upstairs to provide Internet and
network access to the downstairs computer.

I believe a wireless bridge would do this, but is this
how Bridging Mode would work.

Thank you again for any help you can provide.

The MN-500 needs to be hard-wired to the router, Chris. It won't
send/receive wirelessly to the base station.

Chris,

Wow, there are alot of similar questions on wireless
bridges, or "repeater" today. What you need is a WiFi
repeater, like the D-Link or Linksys. Go here for more
info...
