A VAP can be used for many things such as bridged together with a physical wired port (ethernet port on router that has been put into a VLAN seperate from other ports) That way the bridge can be isolated from the main network ....I had my main router set that way for many years Twisted Evil

you can create another Access Point to the internet..

say you have kids...

Create a Virtual Access for them with limitations .

Use specific times they can go on, use keys words for them NOT to use..like "Porn"

stuff like that...
