We are investigating adding wireless network access.  In the course of
comparing various products it came to our attention that the U.S. Robotics
wireless router was available for about $70. after a rebate, but that the
comparable U.S. Robotics wireless access point costs about $190.  The two
are very similar in features and in physical design.  In our network
geography, the router must be installed in a location that doesn't lend
itself to extended coverage. A much better location is available for an
access point that would require but a single Ethernet connection.  Is there
some reason why one seeking just the wireless network access feature could
not purchase the less-expensive router, install it in the better location,
but connect and use it only as an access point?
