If you need a second wifi access point, buy a WAP, not a router. If you need more ports, or to deliver multiple ports to a single physical location, buy a switch.
Right tool for the job and all that.

That is true, but the situation I was guessing he was in was that he currently has 2 routers and I was explaining how it would work for him without purchasing new equipment. Otherwise, you are totally correct. It would be idiotic to spend 2-4 times as much on a router when a switch would be the best tool for the job.
