I got this scenario to work, for internet searchers out there:
Cable Modem
(attached with wire to)
BEFW11S4 (router & 4 port switch & and AP)
((((wireless))))
WET11
(attached with wire (via "uplink port")) to
BEFSR41 (4 port non-wireless router & switch)
The settings/hardware in my scenario:
BEFW11S4 ( SSID = "ncstatewolfpack" , DHCP = "on" , IP remained static at "192.168.1.1" )
WET11 ( SSID = "ncstatewolfpack" , IP left static at "192.168.1.225" , I renamed the device name to "thebridge" for kicks)
BEFSR41 ( No SSID , DHCP = "off" , IP left static at "192.168.1.2" (not the default of 1.1))
I'm still waiting for my WAP11 to arrive from an (auction site) seller. I predict all I have to do is plug in the WAP11 into the BEFSR41, and that will be that (and set the SSID to something that isn't "ncstatewolfpack", like "ncstatewolfpack2" or something, I believe this IS necessary, but can't be sure until testing it).
I had some trouble finding some setup information, so I am posting here. Email me at sloan attttt ipass dotttttt net if you appreciate the information.
Thanks Glen for the article and info again. There are probably newer/better scenarios now with wirelessG, but I was able to get all my equipment thru the auction site for under $100. (I already had the BEFW11S4 and cable modem though.)
