Last week I went to newegg and went to the bridge / ap section of their site. I was in need of a wireless bridge so I search for "bridge" and one of the results was this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833314030

I was in a rush at the time so I bought it without looking over it like I should have. Well now I have this thing and would liek to use it as a bridge if I can.

Does anybody have any good sites I can go to in order to research this? Anybody know if this is possible?

Not entirely sure but I do know that most regular wireless routers do not have the ability to be used as a bridge, but some of the more expensive business ones do or the Linksys router with 3rd party firmware. You can go out and buy a wireless bridge if that is what you want

I know I can buy a bridge and that is what I will do if I can't use what I bought as a bridge.

Since it was my mistake I am not going to return it to Newegg.com and waste their money because of my mistake. I am just hoping that I can use it as a bridge since I will be keeping it.
