   Is there such a thing as a wireless switch?   
      
   Not a router.  A switch.   
      
   I want to connect at least 2, maybe up to 4 devices over wifi to our   
   office LAN.   
      
   Our lan has a subnet of 192.168.2.0.  I would want our wireless devices   
   to have IP addresses on the same subnet, and NOT be subnetted to a   
   different net through a wireless router.   
      
   I would imagine that this might require that this hypothetical switch   
   would require 1 LAN connection for every wifi device being connected to   
   it.   
      
   We have an issue currently where computers connected through wifi can't   
   seem to browse the network work groups and find (and connect to) shared   
   directories on various servers - but they can if directly connected via   
   wired ethernet to our office 24-port switch.
