I have a MiFi 2200, a WET54G bridge and a WRT54G router. In order to provide Internet access to computers on the LAN, I have bridged between the MiFi & router. Works fine. However, to get this to work I had to connect the bridge to a LAN port on the router. I would prefer to bridge between the MiFi and the router's Internet port (for various reasons), but when I run the bridge setup app, it cannot find the bridge if I have it plugged into the Internet port. Can anyone guide me or is this not feasible?

Okay, my real reason for wanting this was to have all my computers on the LAN appear as the same IP to the WiFi. I got around this by using 2 WRT54G's with one set up as a wireless client bridge between the router and the LAN. The 2nd router serves as a WAP.

So, this problem is more or less solved. But, another has arisen. Please see
