You might be able to get the smoothwall/ipcop box for free if you look hard enough. Check like churches/schools/family members for any sort of PC that is old and obsolete (or so they think) and see if you could get them to donate it to you for use. That would save you some money.

Get some WRT54GL and run them in WDS mode. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireles...ibution_System

Connecting the APs via Wire is of course more secure and error proof, but costs more too. Depends how many APs you need I guess
