-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Adding Wireless Access Point

I use the D-Link WAP900 and WAP1000 for this.  They need to be on a
standard port, not an uplink.  Since you are doing this in a business
environment, please check with the Network Admin before you do this.  If
you don't you may find that you have opened a hole in their security
plan.  They won't take very kindly to finding out that your WAP has
compromised their network, especially after the fact.

Ok folks, my turn for a question:

I've set up a wireless network at home with cable modem --> wireless
AP/router.  Now we are moving to an office with an existing cable modem
--> standard router.  I want to add a wireless AP for my own computer.
One option would be to replace the existing router, but I'd prefer not
to disturb the existing setup.  

Can I buy a simple wireless AP and add it to the existing network?  If
so, I would assume it plugs into the uplink on the existing router,
n'est pas?  Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks......Peter
