Yes.  Too often I've thought from the verbiage that
accompanies products that I have something, when it
actually is not included.

Will do.  The manual has no index and only one page where
it states that it can be set up as an Access Point on
which it indicates that this must be configured via their
software.  But, perhaps I don't understand it.  And,
possibly the documentation available at the Belkin website
is better than their print manual.

Thanks for the heads up.
