Nope.

Lets get the terminology correct here-> I'm suggesting that you get a WAP,
not a wireless router. Although, you *could* use a router this wouln't be my
recommendation (especially since you are buying new hardware). If you use a
router, you have to either:

a) Same setup as before and use the router as a WAP (i.e. do not use the WAN
port).
b) Use the router and only 1 NIC on the SBS box (all firewall functions will
be taken care by the router and not the SBS box).

I mentioned a router earlier because I thought you had one (and I figured
you wanted to "recycle it" using method "a"). To answer your other
question-> I do not have any specific preferences regarding Wireless
Routers, ect.

Cheers,
