Re: Why are wireless routers cheaper than APs?

Ok, that's what I had up until last night. It was:


WAN -> Cable Modem -> D-Link DI-604 -> Wired LAN
                          |
                          --> D-Link DI-624 -> Wireless LAN


The DI-604 is just a wired router. The DI-624 is (er, was) a wireless router with the DHCP, firewall, etc., settings turned off.

I don't really need the wired LAN ports on the back of the DI-624 so I thought that an AP would be a better bet. But it sounds like I'd be paying more but not getting more.

(Actually, to be exact, the DI-624 and the wired LAN both hang off of a D-Link gigabit switch.)

The OC		 Ah, OK. Even simpler. Any old wireless router will suffice.
