RE: Wireless Internet
Access Points are generally expensive due to the fact that a lot of corporations and businesses purchase them - there isn't that much of a large normal consumer market for them because most people just buy a wireless router which does it all in one.
However. if you buy a wireless router you can generally put them in "Access point" mode where they function as an access point only.
I've just done this with a Linksys WRT54GL which I purchased the other day (because my actual existing access point died). I also converted it to the DD-WRT firmware which is perfectly fine to run on this model (L stands for Linux, the router runs on an existing Linux based firmware and can easily be reflashed)
