I'm using WNDR3800's again this year (~120 of them). I don't believe that it 
uses offloads in the first place.

The APs operate in bridged mode connecting to the local wired network. A 
separate firewall/DHCP/etc server provides the Internet connectivity.

for details on what I did a few years ago. This year we are moving to a new, 
larger location, but the same strategy is going to be used.
