scollie41 said:Ok, this is an answer to a question I was about to post, but what is the difference in attaching itself and extending the network?

mad jew said:I've heard pretty mixed reports about this as to whether it works at all. Does it work out of the box or does it need a hack?
Buffalo and Apple's equipment often works together, for instance. Linksys has chosen to use WDS as an either/or: either its WRT54G (for example) is a bridge or it's an access point. Apple and Buffalo allow either/and/or: you can make a base station a bridge (for Ethernet connected devices), a gateway, or a bridge and gateway.
