AP-Client mode is the normal mode used by most wireless routers
and take a WAN connection to create a local network that has access to that WAN
connection (typically your CABLE or DSL Modem)
a WiFI Bridge is a a wireless router that is typically used to
extend your wireless network to multiple routers but you use the same
subnets? (ie.? they all service the 192.168.0.x? CLASS C subnet)
if you try this same thing with a AP what you get is the first router
may be on the 192.168.0.x subnet but the second router would have to be on say
the 192.168.1.x subnet
very simplified but for those who wonder or care is a basic of
what the two devices do.

Hi Wojtek,
I have successfully connected a Gemini 2 to my wireless network using a
TrendNet access point in AP-client mode.? In this mode it basically acts
as a media converter to go from WiFi to Ethernet.? I connected an Ethernet
cable from Gemini 2 to the AP and the Gemini now appears on my wireless
network.? There are other products (sometimes called WiFi Bridges) that do
the same thing.? There is no additional functionality in the Gemini device
- it just talks out its Ethernet port.? Theoretically any wireless adapter
that claims to allow wired ethernet devices to access WiFi should work.

I have Losmandy G11 with
Gemini I and wireless network with DHCP protocol and consider buying Gemnini
II.
Interesting for me is wireless connection from home to the telecsope ouside
(cold weather imaging!).
>From the quick manual of Gemini II it is not clear to me how to do it!:
"1. Connect the Gemini 2 unit to the existing network through a hub,
switch, router or wireless adapter."
Does it mean that any wireless adapter connected to the USB port will work?
Does this means that this service is build in the Gemini firmware?
Can anybody answer that?
Thanks,
Wojtek from PA
