linking four BEFW11S4 units in a bridge mode can be ?

[jbarrios33]

I am trying to setup an small village network using four Linksys BEFW11S4 units.

My original pourpose was to link 4 separate home wired/unwired networks, each home with their own BEFW11S4 unit (which has a 4 switch port connections plus wireless AP capability )but sharing among all just my own DSL Internet access )as I understand that`s the concept the technician`s call a bridge.

But what a surprise!, the BEFW11S4 doesn`t support bridge option. I call Linksys technical department and they ask me to buy one WAP11 unit to solve my bridge requierement.

Now, I have a new toy at home ( The WAP 11 ), but I don`t know how and where it will fit into my network.

I have a DSL conection with a CISCO DSL SOHO 77 router, a BEFW11S4 unit with 10DB external antenna in the roof, and now the WAP11 unit wired connected to my BEFW11S4.

I consider myself not an expert, but familiar with basic network concepts such as NAT, DHCP, protocols or others, but I am becoming confussed to setup the Linksys units as routers, gateways, bridges, with or without NAT, etc.

Thanks
