So, my home network used to consist of a "B" style network. (Sorry, I can never remember the full technical names.) I had the router upstairs. I could use it downstairs in the living room, but the connection was a bit shakey. It worked most of the time, but just wasn't "great." It was unable outside or anywhere else. I assumed it was my walls.
So I switched to a normal router upstairs. I connected to a powerline ethernet connection. This connected to my wireless router downstairs. Since the wireless router was a LOT closer, the connection was awesome. My speed was limited by the powerline networking (14 mbps), but the reliability was perfect. So... I'm really wanting the Airport Express so I can plug it into my stereo. However, this won't help my PC upstairs unless I get a wireless card for it. I'd also have to move my cable modem. I just don't want to do that. So... can I get a G wireless system for upstairs. Then set up the Airport to be a bridge? To be honest, the G system upstairs may be good enough by itself. I'd still want the Aiport though so I can broadcast to the stereo. Has anyone used iTunes where 2 wireless networks were "in play" and were you able to broadcast to the Airport while using the other station for connectivity? Is this even a viable idea? Also - I'm considering getting Linksys with the proprietary speed stuff. Their cards will still work w/ other systems, so that should be fine I would think.
