Ok, the airport looks like the right sort of device. The pair of items I have been looking at a little earlier today are: http://www.netgear.com.au/products/prod_details.asp?prodID=214 to attach behind OR to replace the existing router and this as the card in the m0n0 http://www.netgear.com.au/products/prod_details.asp?prodID=236 QUESTIONS: - Am I correct to assume that these devices will be fully compatible with m0n0? - Can anyone see any problems with operating a router BEHIND another router? (see below) My CURRENT setup ---------unit 1 (cable owner)----------- Cable modem RJ45 -> RT314 router RJ45 -> unit 1's PC (192.168.0.0/24) RJ45 -> unit 1's Laptop (192.168.0.0/24) ---------unit 2 (Me)----------- RJ45 -> (****strung from unit 1 to unit 2****) unit 2's m0n0wall WAN (192.168.0.0/24) RJ45 -> CNet switch RJ45 -> PC (mine) (172.16.0.0/16) RJ45 -> PC (visitor1) (172.16.0.0/16) RJ45 -> PC (visitor2) (172.16.0.0/16) ---------unit 2 (Me)----------- THE INTENDED SETUP: ---------unit 1 (cable owner)----------- Cable modem RJ45 -> RT314 router RJ45 -> unit 1's PC (192.168.0.0/24) RJ45 -> unit 1's Laptop (192.168.0.0/24) RJ45 -> WIRELESS router ---------unit 2 (Me)----------- Wi-Fi -> unit 2's m0n0wall WAN (192.168.0.0/24) RJ45 -> CNet switch RJ45 -> PC (mine) (172.16.0.0/16) RJ45 -> PC (visitor1) (172.16.0.0/16) RJ45 -> PC (visitor2) (172.16.0.0/16) ---------unit 2 (Me)----------- >From: Michael Stearne <mstearne at entermix dot com> >..... >You might be looking for something like: >http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ .
