As an update, Netgear's support group indicated to me that no Netgear device
could do what I need.  However when I went back to Fry's they had some more
linksys waps and I purchased the WAPG54.  While the documentation did not
include a guide on how to brig the network, and the setting was a bit hard to
find, it works like a charm :) 


Thanks for all your help.
