Ah, but it's *educational*.

Indeed. I read every post on the subject, and kept reading until I
understood (most of) it.

And there is a silver lining. You can keep your router where it should
be (near where the phone line comes into the house) and position your
WAP somewhere else that gives you better wireless performance. A
combined unit doesn't allow you to do that.

Agreed.

One final thought has occurred. I'm not sure how secure the wireless
part of the network is, and whether I'm allowing anyone who hacks the
wireless part, access to the wired part. The WAP is plugged into one of
the ports of the router.

I've accessed Shields Up from the net book, and it passed all tests,
except the Ping test, but that result is the same for any PC on this
network.

When setting up the WAP, I selected WPA2 security.
