    My recomendation before you purchase any equipment is to try out something like Logmein (www.logmein.com) which will allow you to vpn into a computer on your home network from anywhere... They have a free version for non business use. I find that it works quite well and i can check my office...

    Is there a reason to buy a AP or is it better to just turn a router into one?
