....but If you're at a convention you won't be able to establish WDS
with the convention center's APs. Hence a client + AP in one box.
A Routerboard with two wifi cards would do it.

The AP needs to support it. Ubnt and MT call it WDS repeater.

I.E. today you can, add a virtual AP to a Mikrotik device, so it
looks like two devices. I'm looking for the functionality where
you can add both a 'wireless AP' and 'client bridge' to the same
device. Yes, I know all about the whole 'speed getting slower
with WDS/mess issue, etc.), but in this case it doesn't really
matter since the traffic is going to be next to nothing.
It seems that most hardware and/or drivers will only permit you to
be in "AP" or "Client" mode. Like I said, I swear I've seen a
device which actually works in both at the same time with the same
radio - either that or some small device which has two radios in it.
Otherwise, I'll just go the separate AP and client bridge route.

Maybe. I'm actually probably going to buy one of those
and the mAP just to play with. I have some ideas.
I swear I've seen something which was designed to connect
to a hotspot, then NAT the hotspot connection and deliver
it through both AP and wired modes. You know, so you
could connect your wired and wireless devices on what
appears to be a single connection. I probably need 2
(usable) or 3 (great) Ethernet ports.

Question for those of you who deal with WiFi
devices a lot more than I do:
I am in the market for a small WiFi access point
which I can use primarily to connect a small
Ethernet network to wireless devices (tablets,
phones). This is a trade show application - aka
2-3 Ethernet demo devices attached via WiFi. I'm
looking for small, light, and although battery
would be nice occasionally, "wall power" is a
must, even if it is just leave it plugged into the
charger while operating. I'm going to be flying
with this device so I don't want something large
and clunky.
Bonus for a device which will also act as a wifi
client/nat router at the same time.... aka act as
a "WISP client" AND at the same time act as an AP.
Not sure if this exists or is even possible with
current hardware..... If not, if there's a
teensy wisp client out there with ethernet for
this type of application, feel free to point me
there...
My fallback position is probably a RB951, although
the new hAP light product is intriguing (not sure
if it is even shipping yet).
