how to turn cisco aironet 1100 into a repeater of a wre54g wireless signal? help!
here is the scenario and the 3 pieces of hardware involved.
1. linksys wrt54g router (broadcasting a wireless ssid of OFFICE)
2. linksys wrE54g repeater (repeating the OFFICE signal throughout the house.
3. cisco aironet 1100 access point.
i have a cisco aironet 1100 access point which i am trying to turn into a repeater for signal thats coming from a linksys wre54g. the Wre54s is getting the signal and repeating it from the wrt54g router.
i am havinga problem configuring the cisco 1100 access point as a repeater and having it connect to the wireless network)via the wrE54g) and repeat its signal.
i read on the cisco website that you have to make it an infrastructure ssid on the aironet. im still alittle confused as to what that is but i was able to do it.
my problem comes with how do i "point" it to the OFFICE wireless network thats being broadcasted from the wrE54g and have it repeat this signal out?
if someone could help me with step by step instructions on how to work in this aironet it would be greatly appreciated.
thank you!

you think this will pickup the cisco AP signal and repeat it? and will the wrE54g pick up the wrt54gs signal and repeat that as well?

and how do i get it back to normal if things dont work quite as planned?
I used my wrt54gl to repeat from my aironet device. Worked like a champ (after configuring it finally). If you don't like the firmware and want the default back on, go to linksys' website and download the most current version for your device. Upload it and you are back to normal.
I would make th aironet the main ssid and use the other two products as the repeaters.
Good luck.
