make sure that you've installed the latest firmware updates on

Yup, did that this morning
I am presuming that it is the D-Link that you wish to put into a
'bridging' mode - that is, wirelessly connect to another AP.
That is correct - there are two D-Link DWL700AP devices - one is the existing
Access point for my LAN; the second, I would like to use as a bridge from one
of my computers, back to the original Access Point - far as I can tell, from
all the info in the manual, and from the support pages on D-Links site, my
particular model Access Point can't be put into "bridge" mode
There is hardware to do that - but that doesn't mean that your
device is
capable of it or not capable of it. I simply don't know.
I believe that their DWL-G710 Wireless Range Extender can do what you
want...
I've found an ActionTek device that seems to fill the bill - it's
designed as
a wireless bridge to connect to wireless Access Points, according to their
spec sheets and promos - got one ordered
