So you want both the 2.4Ghz and the 5.8Ghz ?

Yes. I want dual band and the pre-n support (so that
hopefully I can add the n support with a firmware upgrade after they
finalize the standard).

I current have two WAPs, an a and a b,g. Neither support WPA.
I think the best way would be to find a WAP that would support all of
it.

The closest I've come is the Netgear WAG102. It supports, a,
b, and g but provides nothing towards pre-n support.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Fred

I too have two wap's, one a only, and one b-g-pre-n, and (just plug one into
the others router part)... very cheap, both support wpa (actually 3, 3rd is
a BlueTooth AP plugged into the router part)

Good, cheap/easy/quick off the shelf stuff, easy to repair/maintain/etc
(power strip and cat5 cable, adds under $10)
Bad, not all in one box, but several (I personally think multiple boxes is
good, but some people like integrated, look at home stereo stuff)
