I found this to be easier and cheaper than purchasing stand-alone AP's. Basically, disable all the router functions (DHCPD, NAT), and leave the WAN port that connects to the cable modem unconnected. Connect the gateway to the LAN ports, and that's it.

Re: Fun with IPSEC and racoon - 5.2.1
Hi I've been having some fun with IPSEC, owing to the need to put in a VPN between two offices. At the far end, they've got a PIX, and I was pretty sure I could do this end with one of out FreeBSD boxen. As an experiment, I set up IPSEC (with keying provided by Racoon) between my (linux) desktop and that FreeBSD machine. That worked Just Fine. Sounds like you're bitten by the broken IPSEC in 5.2 which still hasn't been fixed in 5.2.1. For some reason the ISAKMP traffic that should go around the ipsec policy isn't, and only on outgoing packets.

Re: WinXP/FreeBSD - IPSec Tunnel Over Wireless (MTU Problems?)
Hi there, Have you tried to see if IP Firewall is enabled on your TCP/IP setting in XP? I also had trouble loading web pages when pings and tracert's were working perfectly fine. Disabling the Firewall solved my problem. I wrote a guide to setting up IPsec tunnel between FreeBSD and Windows here: http://sahara.lbl.gov/~tham/wifi-ipsec.txt Maybe you could go over it and see any difference in set-up and spot the trouble.
