Linksys Wireless trouble

[AtomicFire]

I have a WAP11 and a WAP54G in my apartment. I keep 802.11g clients and 802.11b clients on their respective access points to avoid slowing down the 802.11g network.

Only problem is that when I plug the access points into the network, they go into a "loop" - the WAP11 hops on to the WAP54G as a wireless client, forming a loopback on my switch and taking down both access points.

I know there is a wireless bridge mode in the config, but its turned off and both access points are in access point mode.

From your description it sounds like you have WDS enabled. If not, I really don't know how it would create a loop.

The two AP's need a decent bit of configuring to repeat or connect as a client. Have you reset to defaults and just set up the SSID and security?
