I have this scenario Pete: connecting an existing lan to the wireless backbone! Can the AP-500 route packets between that lan and the backbone? The wireless backbone has a COR in place. In my understanding, the AP can be used to wirelessly connect a group of statiions to a wired backbone or so. But how about connecting a wired lan to a wireless backbone! Hope that clears things up!
