Im about to buy a Linksys WRT54GS to run on my home network, then
evenutally up on a mast on my roof but first I have a small question.
Are the WRT54GS's able to be plugged into a network switch and be used
just as a AP (no routing)?
Ive asked a similar question here before about the 54GS working just as
an AP but I need to know will it work as an "AP on a switch"
I need to be able to access the internet wirelessly (from my lappy).
Currently im borrowing a little Minitar AP which is working with my
existing network design fine.
I just want to make sure the WRT54GS will work the same, my network
topology is:
[ Internet ] -----> [ Physical Linux firewall ] ------> [ switch 1 ]
-----(this line is a switch uplink)-----> [ switch 2 ]
