MN-100 and MN-500

Howdy,

I have an existing network set up with an MN-100. I
recently got a laptop with 802.11b capability. I just
purchased an MN-500 so I don't have to keep hauling out a
cable every time I want to connect to the Internet. What
is the best way to incorporate the MN-500? Should I leave
the current setup the way it is and put the MN-500 in as a
bridge? Replace the MN-100 with the MN-500 and make the MN-
100 the bridge? Do something else? None of my
documentation comments on this setup or the best way to
maximize the resources. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Do Microsoft technical support people read and answer
these questions?

They monitor the newsgroup, but don't always respond to questions. I'd
pitch the MN-100 and simply set up the MN-500 as the base station. You can
still have four computers wired and use it for wireless. Details are in the
User's Guide. If you still wish to bridge (I don't see why you would), you
can see this Knowledge Base article:
