I assume by wireless router you want to build something like the ubiquitous plastic home Router+WiFi AP, right? deloptes is right in that you cannot use just any wifi-card, but there are plenty out there that work. Have a look into the linux-wireless wiki [1], regard the AP column. Also note that even of the chips that support AP, some do so much worse than others - avoid intel as a rule of thumb. Once you have the hardware, you'd setup a normal router and add hostapd. Regard [2] for configuration pointers. Beware that stock hostapd scans the spectrum for other APs and does not enable 80211n/ac if it finds anything on the channels it's configured to use. May be for regulatory reasons, but all the APs you can buy disregard that, and you can patch it out, too. good luck arian [1] https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers [2] /usr/share/doc/hostapd/README.Debian
