1. After thinking of this a little bit I got a knot in my brain! What is the difference between a WLAN Access Point and for example a Laptop with a WLAN-Usbstick? Is every PC with an WLAN-Usbstick/PCI-WLAN-Card and an Ethernetcard an Accesspoint, if the traffic from WLAN is routed to the Ethernet or DSL?Best would be to have another NIC on the router for the WAP (or use a PCI WLAN card), so you can have stricter rules in the FW for wireless clients. For instance, allow only certain (DHCP per mac address assigned) IP's to access the LAN from the WLAN and let others only access the WAN. WLAN in inherently less secure than wired networking, so it'd be nice to keep them separated.2. Is it correct to place the WiFi Access Point connected to the switch, or better directly to the Debian Router?
2. If I would use a switch with VLAN capabilities, it should be secure to plug it to the switch directly. Is that correct?
