    Looking for single stream AP

    I'm looking for a small, cheap AP or router that can be switched into single stream, i.e. one antenna, operation. I suspect there is nothing that does this with factory firmware. So second question is does anyone know of alternate firmware that enables control of # of antennas/streams used.
