I would go with the G Access Point, you really don't need the WRTG since you have a router.
Since they are the same price where I am looking to buy, does the WAP54G get me anything over the combo WRT54G?

From what I can tell from the Linksys site, the WAP54G supports Wireless bridging and the WRT54G does not list it, and of course, the WRT54G includes nat/router functions and the WAP54G does not.

Other than that, I can't seem to see any difference. Am I missing something?

Oh, btw, I'm not sure I'm exactly clear on what wireless bridging would do for me.

The WRT54G could give me a backup router in case something ever happend to my BEFSR41.

If they are the same price I'd stay with the router. When I picked up my WAP the WRT was about $60 more.

www.smallnetbuilder.com can answer your question on what bridging is. My impression is that it allows the device to work with other wireless devices to cover an extended area as one network. In most consumer applications, you don't need it. I bet the WRT54G does have it.
