Extend wireless range by connecting WN604 to DGN3500?

I want to extend the range of my DGN3500 wireless network. Is it possible to connect a wn604 (with a wire) and have both units acting as wireless access points? In the DGN3500 manual a 'point to point bridge connection' is described which _looks_ like what I want.

As a secondary question do you know of any reason why the same thing would not work with a DGN3500 and a Linksys WAP54G?

    yes.

    but been both are not same model. I would consider to use different SSID and channels

    makes no different for using 2nd unit connected with ethernet cables. I would use same setup as above
