  WAP11 to WET11: Easy, Cheap Wireless Bridging
Subject:   WET11 through a hub?

I have a BEFW11S4 (linksys wireless router) on one side and a WET11 on the other side, connected to a Win2K PC. Works great. The BEFW11S4 acts as a DHCP server so the Win2k PC gets a dynamic IP address. The WET11 is configured with a static IP.


Now if I connect the WET11 to hub (straight through cable, WET11 in the II position), and the PC to the hub, I can see the LAN light on on the WET11 and both WET11 and PC lights on on the hub, but the PC can't get an IP address. In fact if I do a "ipconfig /renew", after a while the LAN light for PC on the hub goes off.


Any idea what's happenning?

    I have the exact same issue, I tried the firmware update. Show in the manual this can be done. If I find the problem will post it.

      i helped my friend with his wet11 a while back with the same issue. If I remember it correctly, this is what you have to do.
      1. Switch the lever to II position
      2. Connect it to an open port of your hub, not the up-link port.
      3. Connect the rest of PCs to other open ports.
