can you wire a wireless repeater?

I have a pc wired to a bridge and wireless to a repeater but i was wondering whether from that repeater can you use a wired cable to finish the network to the end workstation?

So:

PC1 >>WIRED>>>BRIDGE>>WIRELESS))))((((REPEATER>>>>WIRED>>>>PC2

does that work?

Yes, i think you can. Depends on what hardware you've got...

basically i'm using all netgear products version numbers are stated below. The setup is as follows:

• PC1 to wirelessly connect to a Netgear Router (dg834g). Then that's wired to a Netgear bridge (wg1022) which is then wireless across a delivery yard to a wireless Repeater (wg1022) which is then wired to a Workstation (PC2).

possible?

does the repeater have a switch built in? if so then I would guess its possible.

no it doesnt. but i spoke to netgear and they said yes you can wire a wireless repeater. The repeater i have wg102 has a 1 ethernet port so i can do it that way.
