access-point

Im moving from an all in one to a router + access point. In doing googling and reasearch and talking to friends I ended up with

router - cisco rv016
wifi access point - airnet 1142 lightweight access point. (lap1142n)

In trying to set all this up and reading I think I bought the wrong access point. It seems I need a wireless controller? Can someone confirm that I should not have bought the lightweight one?
