I currently have a wireless network (11b). I want to add my Xbox and Tivo to
the network but don't want to run cable for it. I have a MN-500 wireless
router than can be put into bridge mode.

Can I connect my Xbox and Tivo to the MN-500 and use the wireless back to my
Symbol access point? My Netscreen Firewall / Router is providing DHCP.
Below is the current connectifity. Double lines are wirled, single lines are
wireless

cable modem
||
Firewall / Router
||
Symbol AP -- 2 wireless laptop computers
|
|
MN-500 in Bridge mode = Xbox
||
Tivo


Off the symbol I have 2 laptops
