Well, I think a WAP is more accurately a wifi switch, since they do not all have router/firewall functions. Depends on who is selling it, Lynksys is pretty good about calling only things a WAP which are access points for wireless networks. But there are other products out there that market waps that can route and do firewall...

Yeah, it's a minor quibble. I only meant to point out that if a WAP has router/firewall functionality, those are extras, and that a WAP without that stuff is still a WAP.
