AP's VS. Router
« on: August 09, 2004, 10:59:59 pm »
Hello everyone!

I'm happy to be posting again since I haven't posted for a long time and I was off the zaurususergroup for a long time too.

But, I have a question.

What would be the difference between an Access Point and Wireless 4-pt Router except that you can split the connection on a router to use wired networking with more than one computer. I infact don't need a router but it's still ok if it's there since there is a 15.00 mail in rebate on the router but any other features or anything that's different in the two?

Thanks

I have a plain AP (D-Link 900AP+) but am planning on getting a Linksys WRT54GS AP/Router since it runs Linux internally and therefore you can modify it to your own evil^H^H^H^H ends!
