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!

Doug
