Hi,

I am interested in one of the 802.11g access points. I have noticed that 
access points are often more expensive than routers and they never seem to 
go on sale. Can the routers be used as access points? In other words, is it 
possible to disable the routing, dhcp, and firewall capabilities of the 
routers, such as those from Linksys, D-Link, and SMC and use them strictly 
as access points?

I use an old PC running Linux for firewalling, routing, and dchp and have 
no  desire to change that. The plan is to add a third NIC to the Linux box, 
run IPsec on it so that all wireless communications will be across IPsec 
tunnels.
