MN-700 in AP/Switch mode

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

My goal is 'simple'... I have 3 location that need internet access. All remote from the modem location.

So I place a wireless AP on the modem... at this point all is working fine and is affordable.

But whats next? Does the MN-700 fit anywhere in this picture?
If not what single AP+Switch can I get thats affordable?
(I dont want to buy 6 devices and couple them, I'm looking for a single device solution : AP + Switch)

I'm hopping the MN-700 AP/switch/router can do that.

Thanks,

Stephan

The MN-700 needs to be wired to the base station/router when in access mode.
Only a true Access Point device sounds like it would serve your purpose.

Thanks for your quick answer.

Their isn't many 'true' access point available on the market with a built in switch...
A quick search return me only two choices. One from Linksys the other from Edimax.

Did I miss other product manufacturer?

Thanks,

Stephan

May be: http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=wireless+access+point I
would look into only 802.11g WAPs. They'll have compatibility with 802.11b
devices, but g is 54 Mbps, while b is only 11. It does make a difference.
