wireless to wired LAN inquiry
I'm trying to decide what would be the better choice: wireless-g bridge, router, or access point.
Here's what I'm trying to do: I want to connect 2 computers in the basement to the wireless router on my top floor. One of the computers uses Linux. Instead of horsing around with wireless cards, I thought that either a wireless-g bridge or access point would be the way to go. Better still, I wondered if a wireless router could be used in the basement to connect with the wireless router upstairs. Since most routers have built-in switches, then it'd be less clutter on the desk.
Any input offered would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can use the routers in a repeater mode, so that should work fine.
(Although, I have never personally done this, so I am not 100% certain).
Also, I have heard of plugging a wireless bridge into the uplink port on a hub/switch to achieve this as well.
