And, you can even get an access point/router that provides both wired and wireless capibility--I just got one of these manufactured by SMC for $200. One problem to know about is the software involved in configuring the device. While I find I can set parameters on my SMC with lynx, I can't do everything I need to do with Lynx. I couldn't even do it myself using IE under Windows. I had to get sighted assistance. Fortunately, once set correctly, it's not something that requires attention.
