With a separate wireless access point you have two main options, to use The

as the LAN.

That's because in common with most home wifi routers its a router
connected to a switch and the WAP hangs off the switch.


With a separate WAP you can configure it as a router with its own DHCP and
DNS.

Not with a WAP, you need something with a router in it and WAPs don't have one.

Sorry dennis old fruity but that's incorrect. A good proportion of WAPs
have a router built in.
