I read through the sticky and the wiki and have a couple questions. I currently have a WRT54G v3 setup as my only internet access. I want to add a desktop computer and a network multi function printer via a wireless bridge. Both would be connected to a new WRT54G via wire. I read that the bridge will essentially mask the MAC addresses behind the bridge for more than one machine hooked up to the bridge. Will this cause problems for my intended setup? Is there a better way? Thank you for any answers you can provide.

Make your new 54g as "client bridge" mode and join to your AP router. And, hook two computers to the new one with cables. Simple, isn't it?

What I wasn't sure on was that the wiki says that this isn't meant for more than one machine behind the bridge, while the sticky in the forum here had some people saying it worked and some saying it didn't. So can I assume that it will work with with my setup if I follow the instructions on the wiki? I don't want to make the investment in the new router if I read something wrong and the bridge won't work as I need it to.
