   An Access Point.  A router is a completely different box, with a   
   completely different purpose.   
      
   Trouble is, nearly every SOHO "router" on the market is a router +   
   switch + AP these days, so people tend to say "router" when they mean   
   something else ...

   Seems a bit redundant to have two routers in the mix there -- perhaps   
   you would do better with a switch?
