Can I convert the BEFW11S4 to an ethernet bridge?

Question

I have a Linksys BEFW11S4. I read this:

and I was thinking if the same can be done with my BEFW11S4. When I googled "convert BEFW11S4 ethernet bridge", I normally just get sales pitches from different online stores, not a "how to" article.

Any answers or sites you provide will help with my research. Thanks.

Answer 1

No. What you need to bridge a wireless network to a wired network, for anything more than internet sharing, is an Access Point. I'm using the WAP54G to bridge my LAN / WLAN and it works great. Wireless routers are great for either 'wireless only' networks. They're also perfect for setting up wireless access for customers and visitors since they make it impossible to access the wired side of the network.

Answer 2

Reading that article, it MAY be possible, but you would have to have similar third party firmware to flash the router.
You might contact whoever wrote the firmware mentioned in the article and ask if they have an older version got the LInksys with the B wireless instead of the G.
