1. A wireless local area network (WLAN) device, comprising:
a first digital interface component comprising a first digital interface terminal configured for communicating with a first device external to the WLAN device;
a second digital interface component comprising a second digital interface terminal configured for communicating with a second device external to the WLAN device; and
a switch circuitry coupling the first digital interface component to the second digital interface component and to a WLAN modem, wherein the switch circuitry is configured to direct signals received from the second device via the second digital interface component to the first digital interface component via the switch circuitry, bypassing the WLAN modem of the WLAN device.
