The WRT54G can do WDS and WPA so I don't see why you'd want to get a WET54G. If you have OpenWRT or one of the other third party firmware images (free) installed then you can do a lot more as well.


Mostly 'cos I couldn't get the WRTs to talk to each other wired so I suspect maybe they'll dislike each other wireless.

Since the device has to be close to the antenna, it's unlikely that one could use it for anything other than the bridge, and one would have to hook up two antennas. The cost of the second antenna would be higher than the price difference from WRT to WET.

That WPA is an issue, tho. The WRT also won't report anyone not connected by other than dhcp, so if you get hacked into, you won't know it. The nice thang about the USR is it would report all connected devices and kept meaningful logs. This is why I loaded the Satori os, but it didn't add that feature. I'll have to check out openwrt.
