I've had good success with Netgear AP's and have three of them in our house. You plug a CAT 5 cable from your Netgear device into the AP and then the AP bridges Wireless and Wifi together.
Most of the AP's have a small Ethernet hub built into them - the N600 Netgear model has 5 - one called "internet" or WAN that plugs via CAT 5 into your other Netgear box, the rest are available to plug in other devices like your PC, radio etc.
I don't remember the price of the N600 that I paid or if it is still current - I think I paid around $70.
Just be sure to configure the unit as an access point!

Will you be working the RTTY RU? Going to do it with nothing but the flex and dax. Should be a good test platform. That is, if my present dose of drugs allows it. :) On a bunch of pain stuff for back issues right now. :)

except for not getting the profiles to save any settings, I've save several profiles, for different bands and modes; but, selecting a profile changes nothing. I think the app is pretty nice and is well worth the cost. Once I can get the Profiles to work, it will be very nice for contesting and general control.

I'm not sure what you mean by "selecting a profile changes nothing"...
When you select a profile a stream of commands are sent to the radio for parameters that need to be set. Also the list of filters is updated.
However, the profile deliberately does NOT save any information about slices. This is to avoid conflicts between clients. Equally, at present there is no "default" filter per mode.
So to apply filters, you need to set the mode, then tap and select a filter to get its parameter applied to the selected slice.
I do this for different contests - I have a profile for RTTY, different one for CW and for SSB. This way I can quickly select which filter configurations I want.
Hope this clarifies how profiles work. You can also take a look at the documentation on my web site (link to that from the app coming soon).

Try this, rotate the device to landscape and back again to portrait. Presto change-o and now a button appears at the top of the screen called Slices.
Press the slices button and the slices list will appear.
This appears to be a feature of iOS and I've been trying to find a solution since I started developing the app!
Sorry about that...
I usually have the iPad propped up in landscape mode using the magic cover as the stand.
I'm still looking for a fix for this one...

The next release has this fixed. I finally realized what was going on and how to fix it. The "fix" had to be done in multiple places to deal with the profiles, filters and setup displays as well as the slice display.
However, they are all now done - it is a feature of iOS - but not a bug! :-)

Here are the specs for the iPad3 from Apple - and yes it does have the Retina display.
IPad 3 Specs on apple.com
Looking at Ebay, it looks like prices for a pure WiFi unit range from $250+ on up to $400.
