Re: wireless network / ethernet bridge question
It seems that I was wrong about not being able to use the normal access point. I had thought that to use the bridge feature both routers had to be configured for bridge mode. According to the manual only the router connected to the imac would have the switch set in the bridge position. The router connected to the DSL would be set in the auto (normal) position, and would act as a normal wireless access point.
I think any wireless router connected to the DSL would probably work with the Buffalo configured as a bridge, but Buffalo will not tell you that. I would still go with two Buffalo routers because they work well and they would be easier to configure to get them to work together.
