Are there any ap's that include switches? It would be really cool to have an ap and 8-port together.
I've seen wireless routers that way. Can the router part be turned off?

Most all home APs are like this.

I haven't seen one with 8 ports, however (at least the home versions), but all the Linksys, Netgear, etc wireless routers all have switches built in.

Yeah... But, read the OP carefully

Router part of what???
The switch isn't a router (hence the name). The wireless is an extreemly basic one, however.

You are essentially looking for a wireless switch then? I don't think they exist.
 
I am simply looking for something that can be a switch for wired computers and an ap for wireless computers.
If a router can be used without the routing/firewall/etc... then that would be right up my alley.
I'd really prefer an 8-port, but it seems most are 4.
