I think this is good advice; the incremental cost of buying a wireless
router isn't that much, and you don't have to replace it as Steve
points out if your needs change.
With that in mind, I can say that the MS wireless access points (with
four wired ports) are particularly easy to manage via jfw (via a web
interface). They don't have so many options that you would feel
overwhelmed, and those that they do have have very good defaults.
