Re: Actiontec GT701-WG as Access Point? Mike, I believe Linksys makes a wireless Ethernet bridge (WET54G) that will do what you want. It's under $100.
msj, that was a helpful explanation, and is certainly consistent with what I've been seeing.
FWIW, the Actiontec has been working great in its new role. Much quicker in connecting my laptop to the network than the cable modem I was using, and more stable. It covers everything in a fairly large house; I haven't tried going outside -- Seattle has been in a deluge the last few days. |

kudos:1 | Yea, I'm familiar with wireless ethernet bridges. I was just hoping, by the way we were talking, that the 701 could be used in such a fashion. It's always nice to recycle used parts. I've got too many parts floating around. Well, it was a nice thought.
While I didn't think what I was looking at could be done, I did learn that making the 701 into an AP isn't that difficult. I don't really have a need for an AP, but it's good to see some additional uses for it. Thx again... Later... Mike.... |
