My apologies, I'm confused why the ports can't work in AP mode. Can't the switch remain operational? In Tomato you're even given the option to turn the WAN port into another LAN port.

Also nice would be more than four ports on the switch.

I've always found it odd that everyone seems to standardize around the 4-port switch on these routers (well, except for Apple, who uses three, which is not enough). I remember an early episode of the GDGT podcast where one of them was salivating over some router that was being released that had 8 ports, but realizing how silly it was to be so excited about something like that smile I agree though, it would be nice not to have to have an additional switch right next to the router just to add one or two more devices...
