I need to connect a linksys WAP to a WEP protected network so that it can bridge traffic to its ethernet ports.

I have a WRT54G (might even work, last time I used it it wouldn't pass port 80 traffic, but I can RMA it if it still won't), a BEFW11, and a WRTP54G.
I'd like to connect one of those to their network as a bridge, then either have it repeating and sharing their network, or use one of the others to create another network in my apt.
The WRTP is for my not yet active Vonage service, so it needs to be online. I'd like to make sure if they let me do this I never have to ask them for anything again network wise, so what's the best way to do this without changing anything on their side and using stock firmwares?

Thanks,

Scott

I think what you want is a LinkSys WET54G or WET54GS5

What I want is to do it with the equipment I already have.
