At our office we have a DSL connection and an 8 port router. We would like to swap out the router for one that adds wirless networking capabilities. Essentially what we need is something like this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000051SGX Only with the ability to have wirless connections in addition to the wired connections. It seems like there are a lot of 4 port routers with wireless on the market as well as a lot of 8 port routers without wirless but I've been having difficulty finding an 8 port router that supports wireless. Ideally I'd like to find something in the $100-$150 range if possible. If anyone could find something of this nature I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Jon |

I know the market space relatively and well and cannot recall seeing an 8-port wireless router. Keep in mind though you can add wireless capability to your existing 8-port router by simply purchasing and configuring a Wireless Access Point. This way you don't have to throw out perfectly good hardware that is working and you can find one for less than $100. |

Your best bet as helpfulguy-ga points out is to just add an access point. It plugs into one of the Ethernet port and just does wireless. I have not seen any combo DSL plus Ethernet plus wireless routers that include more than four ports. |

Cool. So the Wireless Access Point can be added without having to do anything to reconfigure the router? If so that's the perfect solution for us. Thanks!!! |
