Can you use a Belkin 802.11g router to connect to another wireless network and then share the other wireless network though its own 4 Ethernet ports?
The wireless bridge function is no longer available. All recent versions of the Belkin F5D7230-4 router (version 7000 and above) no longer support this function although I cannot find any announcement on the Belkin website. Check the version number on the outside of the package. The web screen for version 7000 does not have the "wireless bridge" option.This is from a search I did on the Belkin web site. This tells you how to setup the router to become a bridge.How To: Configure WDS (Wireless Bridging) with the 54g routerThe information in this article applies to the following products:802.11g Wireless DSL/Cable Gateway Router (F5D7230-4)802.11g Wireless Network Access Point (F5D7130)Router Configuration1.

Note: The channel must be identical on both the router and the access point.Note: The WDS feature is not completely specified in IEEE or Wifi standards. Therefore interoperability between 802.11 products of different vendors is not guaranteed.Yes, you can, but only using Belkin Router and Access Point, or 2 Belkin Routers (one configured as AP).You must set the MAC Addresss of AP in the Router and the WEP (Also channels must match).I have 2 Belkin routers in Bridge. You know it is working when you get DHCP from the AP. I tried using two belkin routers (802.11g, Firmware 4.05.03, Boot 2.01.09, Model F5D7230-4V4) in a chain. The layout is like this:Cable Modem
