Please bear with me becauses my terminology is not so great. I recently ordered a squeeze box for a house we recently moved into. There is no way to run cat 5 in this house and our office is at one end of the house and the entertainment center is at the other end of the house. In anticipation of connecting to the SB I ordered a Linksys Wireless Broadband G router (WRT54GL).
So while I sit here waiting for everything to arrive, including my internet service provider, it occured to me today that since I have cable outlets in both location, in the event I don't have a strong enough signal, perhaps I could install a cable modem at both ends of the house, with wireless routers at both ends of the house and I think I wojld then then have a bridged network, with the wireless signal overlapping, providing a better signal to the SB. But the specifics of this escape me. So my questions are: 1) is this practical? 2) if so, on SB side of the house, can I then plug the SB into the router via cat 5, and control it via the wireless bridge? Or, would it be better to leave the SB in wireless mode. 3) Assuming this is doable, can someone provide good reference material to read on how to configure this? Of course all this assumes I can get two cable modems installed which i neeed to confirm with my provider. But I thought I'd ask the question here first. I'm sure there are good wireless forums to help with this, but again, I've gotten good help here so i thought i start here first. Thanks!
