WET11

I'm thinking of purchasing a WET11 wireless bridge. Is this product
good or bad? I want to connect my downstairs 100base-T segment
with my upstairs 100base-T segment. I have the Linksys Wireless Router
upstairs. Currently I have a piece of cat 5 out the top window and back in
a bottom one. that is what I'm trying to eliminate.

thanks,
Chris

This product is great! And you can do some very interesting things with it.
I used it for about a year to bridge a LAN with my neighbor.

You can get the WET11 (802.11b 11Mbps) or the WET54G (802.11g 54Mbps) models.

How does it work if I plug it in a switch? Will the switch forward
all packets to the bridge that may need to go over it?

Chris,
Let me know if you're succesful, thats the same thing I'm trying to do
with the Linksys 802.11G models of router and bridge.

Yes!
Simply plug the WET11/WET54 into any switch on the LAN to share all computers on that LAN.
Great for connection two LANs together and/or sharing Internet access from one LAN to another.
Great product.
