    Wireless Access point with ethernet ports?

    After spending some time searching, I thought why not ask here.

    I'm looking to extend the network by adding a wireless access point. However I still want the option of connecting PCs via Cat5 served by the the WAP. Lots of info about the wireless side of it all but none about wether or not there are any ethernet ports.

    So, anyone here using a wireless access point which also has ethernet ports for a wired connection?

    Buy a cable router and don't use the routing side

    As far as I'm aware no such "wireless switch" exists but I could be wrong

    Thanks for reply Howard. Seems like I'm after the impossible! Might go the switch route and forget the wireless.
