As for an access point / repeater, I've set this up using 2  Linksys
WRT54GL routers at home.  You could do the same, and run the Linksys
from an inverter perhaps?


Here is what I did at home, basically, to get the 'internets' down to
the kids study/playroom, without having to string cat5
wiring the length of the house.


There are commercially available WDS / Repeater type of deals
out there as well, but cannot vouch for their effectiveness.


Why do you need multiple network connections in your van?


You can also setup wireless on a windows laptop to act as an
access point I believe.


Used to be able to do this on a Mac as well, but I've not tried it
as of late.


hope this helps
