I have the following configuration:
Cable Modem--> Netgear RT311 router -->Hub -->Dlink DWL900 AP 802.11b setup as an access point.
I am looking at upgrading my home security system to a service that supports alarm notification over a broadband connection

You have to get a little adapter that takes an RJ11 phone line in from the alarm console and transforms it into IP out on an Ethernet port

. I need to connect the network output of this device to my home network. However, the device is in an inaccessible place in the house, and I would have to run ~100' of cat5 to get to my hub - not to mention also some hole drilling through floors and such - not what I want to do. So, what sort of 802.11 device do I need to make a wireless bridge between my alarm adapter device and my access point? Do I just get another access point and program it as a bridge?Thanks, Leor
