Are WAPs just repeaters or do they have DHCP servers built in like most routers these days? I have a LinkSys WAP11 and wondering if I want to purchase a Wireless Print Server to go with it will I need a Wireless Router instead or will these work fine. Remember I will be using this in a LAN with little or no use for Internet access. Thanks in advance.

Most WAP that I have worked with have built in DHCP however I think they also need a router.
 
If you aren't going to need the internet or NAT then you should be fine, the print server should come with the ability to hardcode the IP address if you don't have a dhcp server.
