Not really. They do not forward everything, but they do forward all broadcast. it is kind of a hubbed switch. The WiFi side is a hub and all communication is shared, but the bridge between the WiFi and wired is switched. And if you choose "user mode isolation" a lot of the local side hub goes away, but the contention does not. WiFi is an ugly design, but it is popular. :) Lee
