Currently I'm using a Speedtouch (now called Thompson) 510v4 with my
ADSL connection and want to add wireless access for a machine elsewhere
in the house (and the occasional friend with laptop).
Instead of throwing away the router (which I'm very happy with) and
getting another with wireless built in I thought I would get an access
point and connect it directly to the modems inbuilt switch. Am I
correct in thinking this is possible?
This should be pretty straight forward shouldnt it?
The AP I've been looking at getting are below, any opinion (good/bad) on
these, or any alternatives worth looking at (I'm in the UK so I need it
be readily available and well priced (<£80 prefrably))?
SMC SMC2870WUK 54Mbps Wireless Access Point / Ethernet Bridge
U.S. Robotics USR015450 100Mbps Wireless Access Point
Netgear WG602 V2 54Mbps Wireless Access Point
