With access points, they: *Can* act as a router, where they're the gateway between two subnets (WAN on the outside, their own LAN on the inside). *Can* act as a switch, with everything on the same subnet (one big LAN altogether). Some can work both ways (even simultaneously), some cannot. When they act as a gateway, that can surprise you. You might want to work between two PCs on either side of it, and find things are blocked by its firewall, or that NAT has made things difficult). It's not impossible to do, but when it doesn't work as you expected that's something to consider. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 30 14:19:46 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
