Hi All

What is the difference between a wireless router and a wireless bridge? Just
so I do not confuse people I know a router goes on the line side and the
bridge goes on the computer side but really is the difference? Or to ask this
question another can one convert a Netgear wireless router into a wireless
bridge? The reason I ask this question is that I need a wireless bridge but
they cost $125.00 at CompUSA while they have wireless routers class b on sale
for $10.00 and since $10.00 sounds much more affordable to me than $125 I
would like to know if one can convert the router to a bridge.

PS they have class G for $29.00. Last day of sale is 8 Jan 05.
