Main internet access router is an 8 port wired, I have 3 wireless routers wired into the 8 port, one out in the shop, one in the house and one on a different subnet I let guests use for internet access.  I'm no IT guy but was able to figure out how to configure everything so it work. Yes you can use a router as an access point, just use CAT-5 to connect it to your main router. You can run CAT-5 about 300 feet if I remember. Only issue I have is every time we have a power glitch the guest router and main router fight over the DHCP assignments and I have to shut down the guest router then reset the main router, then power up the guest router. The other two routers are not a problem but they are acting more like switches than routers.</p></blockquote><p></p>
