why two? Won't it work with anything else?

I have a SMC 2655W AP already. It's a dumb "B" AP device. Does Access control and WEP. 

I went to CompUSA, and I was going to get a Linksys WET11, but saw that there was a 
Netgear WG602v3 http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WG602v3.asp. Since the box had a 
diagram showing the 602 connected to a hub, with wired devices, and stated that it could 
be bridged, and had "G" functions, I decided to purchase that. It was the same price as 
the "B" only WET11. 

I have the 602 setup to be in Point-to-Point bridge mode. For now, I disabled it's 
wireless client portion. I turned off Access Control in the 2655W.

I set it to the following:

1. I had it generate keys, and I used the same Hex values (cut/paste) on the existing AP. 
(I've noticed that some devices don't use the same passphrase translation.)
2. I set it to use Open, and Long preamble. 
3. I set it to be "B" only. 
4. I can 'see' the other AP in the bridge table. I can see the channel, SSID, and signal 
strength. This is supposed to mean that I have configured the WEP and channels correctly. 

However, no device appears to get a DHCP response via the unit. Neither wired or wireless 
(when I reenabled the wireless client support.)


I have no clue.
