"With its web-based setup wizard, the DWL-G700AP Access Point ensures that you will be up and running on a wireless network in just a matter of minutes. The DWL-G700AP also includes an embedded DHCP server that can automatically assign IP addresses to wireless network clients" |
OK, let's get cheeky and start listing all possible hybrid products that can be found on the net...
By definition, an access point is equivalent to a layer 2 bridge and does not provide any layer 3 services, such as IP addressing or NAT or anything else... If some manufacturers decide to incorporate a DHCP server in it then you effectively have 2 devices into one - an access point and a DHCP server... The same as most wireless routers today, which are 3-in-1 devices - a router, a switch and a wireless access point....
Anyway, this is irrelevant to the original problem and I'll stop educating you.
