Hi all. This is probably a newb question, but I gotta ask. In my setup, I have a DGL-4100 for my LAN. If I add a wireless router to the LAN in AP mode, such as the DIR-628, will the APs bad routing performance impact clients connected to the LAN? For example, if I were to run bittorrent on a laptop, would the 628's really bad routing performance impact? Or is the 4100 the determining factor? Thanks.
 
An AP doesn't route. But it has lower bandwidth (speed) than a wired connection.
Wireless clients will run at a slower speed than wired ones. But their speeds are unrelated to each other.
