Other specific issues I had with this model, and the reasons I say it's quirky, are:
a) It couldn't connect to my access point unless the access point broadcast its SSID. If both devices have the same SSID this shouldn't be necessary, and is less secure.
b) If you want to use a channel other than 6, you need to change it from infrastructure to ad-hoc mode, change the channel, and then change it back to infrastructure more.
c) It couldn't connect to my access point if the access point was in "mixed 802.11b/g" mode. I had to switch the access point to 802.11b only.
If I were to buy another wireless bridge I'd get one that's 802.11g compatible.
The nice thing about Linksys' products is that Linksys works hard to make setup and use as easy as possible: I can use the CD-ROM that comes with the Bridge to step through a wizard that will configure it, or I can log into the unit using a web browser and tweak all the settings manually.
One thing to keep in mind if you're not going to just plug-n-play the WET11 out of the box: when you first go to set this up, you need to connect it directly to your computer so you can configure it. Have a computer with an Ethernet jack handy so you can set it up (it comes with the cable you'll need), and once you get things working you can put the WET11 anywhere you want to. Mine serves my jukebox, but I could easily use it to connect *any* Ethernet device to my Wireless network.
I have also had to call tech support for help. Their phone support is hit or miss: sometimes you get someone who doesn't speak English and has never seen the product (and sometimes doesn't even understand how it works!), but other times I get savvy, friendly people who impress me with their service. Since Linksys is one of the rare companies that still offers 24-hour toll-free tech-support, I have to give them a thumbs-up for the quality.
The setup was fairly easy. The Linksys lets you configure WEP encryption with a passphrase instead of the usual long string of hex characters. That's convenient if both your client and access point are both Linksys (which they are, in my case). I'm sure Linksys likes that I have an incentive to buy more Linksys devices for the convenience of setup.
You can configure the device with a web browser. One annoying thing is that if something goes wrong, you don't get internet access, so you can't use the web browser to go into the WET11 to fix the configuration. You have to go back to the Linksys CD, which contains a setup program.
I've heard that the WET11 can also be used with a TiVo. It's something I want to try but right now the arrangement we have puts the TiVo and the computers downstairs far away from each other, so I don't have this set up.
I find the Linksys custom setup app pretty annoying. Instead of using standard Windows widgets, it has its own "pretty" window with its own nonstandard titlebar, nonstandard radio buttons, etc. They didn't implement all the shortcuts (shortcut keys, cut/paste, etc.), so it's really a pain to use their program. To make it look k00l they gave up consistency and usability. :-(
