Can I use my first generation Airport Base Station as a relay for another 802.11b network?

I believe the feature is called WDS and should theoretically be possible. Does your Airport Admin app have that feature? Also, I think it has to be setup on the network too. You can't use it to relay to someone else's network without their permission.

Wireless bridging is only available on the new AEBSes. You can always run an ethernet cable to another ABS and bridge that way.
