BEFW11S4 and wired router

[seek12]

Currently have a wired router. Can I hook the BEFW11S4 from the switch port to the wired switch and just use it as an access point for a wi-fi Ipaq?

Thanks

I current have it connected this way. I connect the wireless -B router BEFw11s4 to my wired router, I used the uplink from the wired router to the wireless. I also change the IP address on the wireless router to 192.169.1.151 , this way I could alway access it also. I connected the wusb11 wireless adapter to my XP system downstair and installed the drivers only . (Note do not install the siftware it will mess things up), just driver if you have XP- ME/98/95 need the software to work. I have also connected another computer through the wired side of the wireless just to do maintianance on it through the wired side. So I have 3 computer connected to the wired router / uplink connected to wireless with one wireless adaoter and one wired computer and all work good.
