I had this scenario a while back (for laptop surfing as well as my SB1) in
our old rambling victorian house with thick walls. Rather than setup
multiple access points around the house, I took the option of the HomePlug
(ethernet via the house earthline) with the base HomePlug connecting in to
the base wireless station/internet router (Belkin ADSL router), and 2 wired
Homeplugs (for SB's around the house) and one wireless HomePlug for surfing
at the other end of the house.

It made the setup a doddle and fairly discreet - (V Important for the
memsahib!)

Even she can now log on to the vaio laptop running Suse 9.3, listen to music
and surf in the lounge!

My £0.02 worth.

Subject: [slim] Wiring house with antennas?

This is a bit off topic, but I was wondering if anyone has placed multiple
antennas around their house and routed them back to a central point as a way
of providing WiFi coverage instead of putting multiple access points around
the house.  It seems like this would save you having to upgrade a bunch of
access points whenever b goes to g to n (or i or whatever is next).

Any thoughts on this?  Anyone tried it?

Kevin
