Think of an AP as a way to connect wireless interfaces to the same |

switch/hub as you can the wired connections. They usually bridge the |

You're probably right; you only need an AP, because you likely already |
| 15 |
have a gateway/router. They sell for about $20 us around here, if you |
| 16 |
get them on the web. |
