A WAP is a device that allow you to create a wireless network between one or more wired computers (how many wired computers can connect depends on the model of the WAP). A wireless router serves the same function as a WAP, but also allows you to share an internet connection between all of the computers, both wired and wireless. What you need is a wireless router. This will allow you to share the dsl connection and also allow you to share files and printers between the computers. To learn more about networking, see the following sites:
If you want to share a broadband connection, you need a wireless router. The access point is used if you already have a wired only router and you want to expand it to be able to do wireless.
