wireless bridging

[CU]

I have a DI-624 and would like to connect a linux machine downstairs using super G, but super G doesn't seem to be support by linux. So, I thought I would use dlink's gaming adapter. It is super G and just plugs in to any old NIC to connect to the computer. But for expandablity I was wondering if I could bridge a wireless router with my DI-624 for or do something else to give a me a few more ports down stairs. Suggestion are welcomed.

DI-624 can only act as an Access Point. It can not bridge or be configured as a client.

You can plug the Game adaptor into the DI-624 and create you own Switch Repeater.

The DI-624 is my main router that is connected to my cable modem. I was wondering about buying another one or something else. Does someone else make a router that will bridge to my DI-624 at super G speeds? Or will that still not work because the DI-624 just cannot do that. Maybe the Game adpater is my best bet and when I need more ports I can just plug it into a switch or hub.

If the workgroup bridge (what the "game adapter" is) allows more than one attached client. Some will limit to passing data by one MAC address. That one may not but if you plug it in to a switch and your only getting one machine on through the bridge you'll know why.

Super G, Turbo .11g, whatever you want to call it, is about 97% marketing gimmick. Any slight gains you might see in bandwidth are more than made up in negative impact with bleed over, distorted harmonics and general poor design.

SuperG is not a standart Mode.

If D-Link sells a Game Adaptor that is SuperG compatble? Buy it, plug it to a Switch, and connect as many computers as the adaptor supports.

Other wise you need to buy a Dlink Access Point that can do client mode.
