I need some help choosing the right wireless access point for my home network.
I currently have this configuration:

1) ADSL modem connected to the phone line, supports multiusers, always on.
2) 20 port Network hub/router connected to the ADSL modem, providing wired connections.
3) I want to connect the wireless access point to the network router/hub.

I have been looking at the Orinoco Broadband Wireless Gateway (BG-2000) and the Orinoco Wireless Access Point (AP-100). They both look similar to me. However, I realize the the BG-2000 is meant to be connected directly to the ADSL modem. I would just like to know if both will work with my current configuration, and if they will both work what cable/connection between the hub/router and the access point will I need?

Don't know if you've found an answer yet or not. The AP1000 is what you need, not the BG2000. Plugs into a LAN port on your existing router with an ethernet (Cat5) cable.
