I've just looked int getting this, but it has just occurred to me that
I would be better of going wireless.

First of all, 10Mb might not cut it for me as I want to setup a
Terminal Server at high res (1600x1200). But I have just read that you
can get wireless bridges that can also act as repeaters/access points.

This highspeed kit is around £100. How much is a wireless bridge?
£30-£40? And if it can act as a repeater than I get to improve my
signal downstairs.... plus its 54Mbps.

The only problem is which bridge also supports client mode
simultaneously? Any ideas?
