does anyone know if there's a way to turn a wireless router into an ethernet bridge? I am willing ot flash the bios if it can be done, but has anyone ever heard of such a thing? Ethernet bridges are too expensive!

If I tell you, does that mean you'll know how to do it?

My Orinoco RG-100 (pretty much the same thing as an apple airport) has a bridge mode setting that I use, I did have to download some updated firmware to enable it.

It's a pretty featureless device so one of yours will probably do it too.

Google the model with "bridge", that's all I can advise really.

Aren't you a computer nerd?
Have you tried asking yourself for help?

Perhaps you may be of some help... to yourself?

I was waiting to see if someone could spoonfeed me the answer first. I hate invoking my nerd powers.
