LARGE house, wired network, + 2 wireless routers

Hello all,

I have been asked to setup a wireless network for a friend who currently has
a partially wired house (over 12KSQF on 4 floors). In his office he as the
cable modem connected to a router/switch. From there he has one cable
running down 2 flights of stairs and over to the next wing. The wired
network works perfectly but he would like to add wireless access for two
laptops to be used in both areas. I know one access point will not supply
complete coverage and there is no drop in between. I figured I would simply
added two access points; one on the switch and the other on the drop in the
other wing. I find the wireless/router/switch combos are much cheaper so I
figured I could replace his current wired router/switch with the
wireless/router/switch then connect yet another wireless/router/switch to
the drop in the other wing. Does anyone see a problem with this?

Thanks
Jason

Hey, I just found on the last page of the web interface where I can have the
wireless router act as an AP only. What luck...
