Adding wireless capability to MN-100

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

You can't, Mike The device doesn't work like that. You'd need an MN-500 or
MN-700 router/base station, depending on whether your laptop is a B or G
device.

You can go two ways with adding the MN-700 in: (1) Use the MN-700 as the
base station, with the MN-500 as an access point only for your b devices
(I've done that), or (2) go the other way. Of course when you're using the
two base stations, one needs to be in access mode only. MVP Barb Bowman has
a really nice Expert Zone column on this type of setup:
