hey all,

i just purchased a blanc wireless router, $2.99 CAD after rebates. wireless cards are $50+, but i was wondering if i could use this "client mode" feature to put two pcs (one gentoo, one wintendo) on a wireless network, and share DSL internet from one routers WAN connection. to clarify, i mean two routers, one in wireless "client mode" and another as a server; its cheaper than buying the pci/usb wireless card.

here's a quote from the manual, but i'm a networking noob and don't want to misinterpret it.
[sorry the screenshot is missing but the 2nd paragraph is a description of items shown in a table. sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but the salesman at staples said routers only run as wireless servers, and dhcp client is only on the WAN side.



Site Survey The Site Survey button provides tool to scan the wireless
network. If any Access Point or IBSS is found, you could
choose to connect it manually when client mode is
enabled. Refer to 3.3.9 Site Survey.
