RouTer

=== Router vs Ap ===
So basically all I need to do is connect a cat5 from the rootenna to 
a router – preferable a Linksys WRT54G with the Sveasoft hack. Then I 
can connect any wireless device through the router. With this setup I 
can also use my Zyxel WiFi phone. At the moment I get a poor signal 
as the meshbox is about ½ km away.
