They're very affordable and much more easy to setup. ;-) :-) That is an interesting idea. I've seen it done in hotels where they want to offer wired connections but are too cheap to run real cat-5. In my case, I was really thinking more of the wireless from when I'm not at home (like in a coffee shop, or on a trip). (I already have cat-5 runs to all the rooms in the house, so getting a connection when at home isn't a problem.) -wolfgang
