It won't do bridge or repeater out of the box, the only linksys unit I know that can do the latter is the WTR54GS (note that IS wTr, not wRt, it's a travel router) > The WLAN and LAN of the WRT are supposed to be just like ports on a > switch, Hmm, how so??? > but of course the WLAN does have notions of whether it is acting like > a client or an AP.

Dunno, never used ad hoc, from what I remember ad hoc doesn't offer much security.... however with that said, the fortinet router allows 4 separate ssid's/wlan's so I _could_ put it on it's own wlan. -- Harondel J.
