I purchased this WET 11 Ethernet Bridge and the first one out of the box did not connect to the Airport, in fact, it didn't recognize any WLAN traffic at all! I spent an hour on the phone talking with Linksys tech support in India (I kid not!) before this tech support fellow told me to return the device. The set up files are only supplied for the Windows OS. The tech support man felt that I should be able to connect to the bridge via a web browser interface at a static IP address. But this didn't work either! I was wondering Joe, how did you configure your WET 11 to work with your iMac, etc? I could use some guidance before trying out unit # 2...
