Sorry if this is a stoopid question betraying my ignorance, but if you are not using as a router, why do you need an access point? Can you not just run in 'ad-hoc' mode, as you suggest yourself?

Presumably the reason they do 108 Mbps routers is that it gives you the speed for local inter-computer comms, and also the shared Internet access (at the - slow - speed of your Internet connection).
