I bought a wireless-ethernet bridge for my growing office network
(separated by a large distance from the phone socket / DSL). It's a
Linksys WET 11, and is absolutely the best thing since sliced bread.
It completely removes all hassle about using Wifi with office
equipment (several computers and a printer).
The updated version (Linksys Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge WET54G) is
available on Amazon.
