WAP4410N as Simple Wireless Bridge?

[EduTech2011]

I have a room cut off from the wired network by concrete walls (there are windows and it's a very short distance).  There is a device in that room with a wired network adapter than needs access to the network.  We'd like to use a pair of WAP4410N devices to get that room on our wired network over a simple "wireless bridge."

Would the following work?

• Connect one WAP4410N normally with WPA2 Personal encryption and connect it to our wired network.  Enable repeating of its signal.
  
• Set up the "remote" WAP4410N in the "cut off" room.  Give it the same SSID and Encryption settings.  Enable "Wireless Client Repeater" mode and uncheck the box labeled "Allow wireless station to associate". . . then use its RJ45 network port to connect to the wired device in the room.

My biggest concern is the part in bold.  Will the network port on the "remote" repeater function like that?  So that any devices (or a switch) plugged into it will then be "forwarded along the bridge" to the main/local AP and then onto our network?

Thanks!

The scenario you describe should work for you as indicated by the "Operating Modes" of the "Network Capabilities section of the Data Sheet (page 3).  It sounds as though you just want to create a point-to-point wireless bridge between the two APs while not allowing wireless clients to associate, correct?  That should work for you as described.
