Re: Method for using a wireless router as AP re: newer routers having auto-crossover -
Good point. I had hoped that my wired router (about 1.5 yrs. old) would have that, but it didn't. The wireless is a DLink 713, and it apparently doesn't either. If either had, you would have been correct, but I thought I'd throw out the crossover idea for those who don't.
Best bet - try a normal cable first. If no link light appears, try a crossover and see if that helps. | |

Most of the routers W/switch and just switches I have seen have either auto configuring ports or a uplink port. If they don't have either then you will need a crossover cable. The uplink port is just a crossover port.
