I already have a wireless access point (see first post). Just need to confirm that it should be fine for my needs with a BEFSR41

He's already got a wireless access point, dunno whether buying a wireless router is worth it. I suppose it makes things less cluttered with his setuo Personally I'd rather have as few things to go wrong as possible so I'd get the wireless router but that's just me

Sorry should have re-read the posts before opening mouth.

The router you've linked to should do the trick
