I have an odd setup here.

In room A I have multiple wireless clients and a wireless router.

In room B I have multiple hard-wired clients on a switch.

Is there an easy way I can wirelessly connect room B to the wireless router in room A? Do I need to get two seperate wireless bridges to do this? Is there a way I can just get one and have it link to the current router and let all my system on the switch get DHCP from the router?

If 2 wireless bridges is the only way then that's OK, just wondering.

Get a Linksys WET11 and plug it to the switch in room B.

WET11 is a Driverless Wireless Client, and it will bridge the two segments of your LAN.

You have to disable DHCP on the B LAN and leave the IP management to the DHCP on the A LAN. Or use a static IPs; make sure they are in the band of the A LAN.
