Change your search terms - what you want is a Wireless Router with a Gigabit switch. I found a couple from Belkin and Netgear. If the price is too much, try the following alternative: Stick three network cards in your server: 1) Router 2) Gigabit Switch 3) Wireless Access Point If you don't want the wired/wireless networks separated, just plug the WAP into the switch and ditch the third network card. Save yourself some hassle and replace the Ubuntu server with IPCop and Advproxy/Urlfilter and your setup as you described is pretty much complete. Of course at this point your Wireless Modem is not doing much, so replace it with a USB/PCI one direct into the IPCop box. -- Dave Murphy - http://www.schwuk.com Get in touch - http://schwuk.com/static/contact-details
