Here is an external unit on the cheap. ($19.95 after $10 rebate) http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=173989&Sku=D700-2207%20P I've got the aps at my house connected to a network on an extra interface bridged to the external network with bridge filtering turned on. The internal network is still safe and I can control what kind of traffic goes to and from the wireless devices. Plus, as an added bonus, if you use an actual access point (in most cases) you get mac filtering and/or mac association control.
