It's the router. They also sell standalone WAPs. I built one since I didn't want to spend money on something I could make. ;)

now why would anyone want to build an access point themselves, when they can get a router or WAP for $8 after rebate?

your point doesnt make sense.

Because I could make one for the price of a wireless card (of which I have several lying around).

EDIT: Also when I built it they were more expensive, and I hate MIRs.

Ok, i am all confused now. What's the difference between wireless router and WAP? If I have wireless router do I still need WAP?
