<br>Could I then add a Wifi card and turn it into an access point, and then turn it round and use it as a Router, <br><br>I'm talking Low Power, Light Weight, here and yet still be able to monitor, delay lose packets etc and also able to intercept and firewall, I guess.<br>
<br>Might be an interesting project.<br><br>Peter.<br><br><br><br>
