for some reason - some folks like to suggest the most complex and involved
solution...
It's like asking what car to get... and some folks basically tell you to
build your own...

Why would anyone looking for a simple wireless Ethernet bridge get anything
besides exactly what you are looking for ....

PLUS - what's your Internet connection speed - 1M, 3M, 6M
and how fast is the bridge - actually speed ?
802.11b = maybe 11M and the 802.11g = 22M
SO - does having a 54G do you any good on a 6M internet connection ?

I'm constantly amazed at how folks answer questions with basically "how
smart they are",
which is interesting to read if you know the basics and understand the
topic,
but then again they don't really answer the question, nor provide a reality
based solution....
