wirless ether net bridge netgear products. How?
Not sure if I am posting in the right forum, as I am not sure if some netgear access point products also allow wireless ethernet bridge. However, I hope someone can help with my questions below about ...
Two access points can be used to create a wireless bridge, what I do not guarantee is that you can use an access point to create a bridge to a wireless router, as that would depend on the router also supporting bridging.
If you feel that connecting Bluray players to wireless networks would be common, why not take it up with the manufacturer of the Bluray player, there's no reason they can't build a wireless client/adapter into the players (or maybe you just chose the wrong player) - personally - and this is from a network professional who has used wireless for over a decade, and that's prior to the 802.11b ratification - I prefer to go though the hassle of running cable - I use WiFi strictly for mobility, any device that sits in a fixed location goes on ethernet, the performance & reliability can't be beat - the only rooms in my home that don't have cable drops are the bathrooms. I also don't have a wireless router - I prefer a separate access point mounted in a central location for optimum coverage.
