Evening all, need a switch for 3 hard wired devices and wifi aswell for the wireless devices

Already a bt router on site, so this will run off that in the building next door hard wired ofcourse

Should I be looking at routers and just turn off and change settings as per 1 of the stickys above or another newer solution?

Thanks for any help

A wireless router configured as an AP is the simplest option.

Any particular brand? And would they all have ability to be put in ap mode?

You can put almost any wireless router into AP mode. Some will have a mode you can select through the GUI which will make life easier.

No particular brands in mind. How much are you willing to spend and how exotic do you expect the wireless to be?

Linking to/mentioning OcUK's direct competitors is against forum rules.

Link to OcUK if they sell it or the manufacturer's page.

You appear to have been trying to link to a TP-Link C50. That'd work for what you're wanting to do.
