Good point - I would lean how to build & configure a really cheap Linux
WAP, but this knowledge would be useless in the workplace, apart from
ancillary Linux networking skills I would pick up.
The suggestions of various people to find a cheap 2/hand "serious" WAP
and learn with that makes sense, if I am to get employable skills out of
the exercise...
thanks for all the feedback, I will report back when I have something
working.

My budget for this is tiny, $100 max for the whole setup, as it's only for

I don't get it. If the end goal is training, why would you train yourself on an
approach that nobody in the real world uses, and will be of almost zero value
to you when it comes to configuring some actual hardware?
All wireless access points you will find in the wild are done in hardware.
