Fingolfin, if you want to keep your regular router, yes, you would just get the access point. I got the access point because I would never give up my linux firewall/router. Everything is working fine. I love my access point. to configure the access point, you need to temporarily plug it in your computer to configure it (or change your tcp/ip settings to match the acess points internal one, to activiate the SNMP screen). And yes, this access point does bridging if you configure it which is what access points do.
