The home combo router/ap/switch boxes are so cheap these days that it is probably not worth the effort to use anything else. In fact if you need a second access point the cheapest way to do it may be to get a pair of routers, connect by ethernet on the switch side, and disable the WAN side of the 2nd unit. If you shop for closeouts/rebates you might find them for around $20. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
