It is a wireless router, the issue is that it they are in a rural area of West Africa, and its not like " just go down to Bestbuy and pick one up"
But what stumps me is that my linksys wrt54gl router (with DD-wrt firmwaer) allows this by simply plugging a patch cable into one of the LAN ports.

I would put an AP in there if at all possible.

The AP will just bridge wireless to wired.

We now have a new router in place and it is working fine, however, the new router doesn't have a wifi, so my intent was to just plug in the on the lan so they can have wifi. Here is the setup ISP> WAN port on New VPN router (ip 10.0.4.1) > LAN port on Cisco wifi > Cisco set to 10.0.4.200, dhcp server enabled , range 10.0.4.201-10.0.4.220, The issue I'm facing is that I do not have the ability to specify the default gateway on Cisco (at least I cant see it in the GUI) , as a result when client connects to the wifi it gets an IP of 10.0.4.221 but the gateway it gets is the IP of the cisco (10.0.4.200) as a result they have no internet access. And to add insult to injury , this is in the remote office with the worst connection (256k sat) So trouble shooting has been miserable to say the least- The only upside is that the laptop I'm remoting into has a 3/4g USB key , so it isn't as painful, however the per mb charge is going through the roof. I have this same setup in another office, with the exception that linksys router (providing wifi) has dd-wrt and I am able to specify the gateway.
