I did a ubnt pico attached to a 751 one time for vacation in Dominican 
Republic.  I'd imagine that would fit your bill, although probable not the 
"best" solution.  However you might be able to do a 493g with 2 wireless cards.
I think there's an issue with having a single wireless card in both AP and 
Client mode.   So if you have 2 cards, shouldn't that work?   There may be more 
elegant solutions by now but I think this would get it all in one case.


Thanks
Tyler

I guess you could call the functionality I'm looking for more of the "Repeater" 
or "Mesh" operation, but with NAT in the middle.....

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.

What are you missing?

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).
