Actually, that's just what I intend to do. Thanks!

Well, none of the stuff I ordered is rated for "n", so I guess I
dodged that bullet.

Thanks again.

HEY!

I don't know if anyone is still following this thread, but I just
wanted to say that I followed the collective advice of everyone here
and things worked out very well. I got the WRT54GL wireless router
and used it as a switch, plugging it into the wired router. I just
pull the plug when I want to "disable" wireless. I'll eventually rig
some kind of switch on it for easy use. I ended up redoing my whole
network. Good learning experience.

Okay, that's it. Just wanted to thank alt.internet.wireless and
alt.comp.networking.routers. It really is neat that people are
willing to share their time and knowledge with a total stranger like
me.

Thanks!

This way I can use a wireless
laptop, but disable the wireless feature when I don't want it
broadcasted.
