Well, copper may be copper, but speaker wires do sound different. I recently tried a few, all copper, and preferred a Chinese cable, Yingwang I think. But for now i'm using blue jeans cable that's $0.79/Ft . The gray version is $0.59/Ft. :-D They use Belden cable. On 1/5/07, Solvason-Pastuch

%. Distance to router is about 11ft through 2 walls. I could imagine though that 11g would give better range and signal strength. Or that maybe at some point I should replace my (belkin) 11b router with an 11N router, also for range. Any thoughts on that? jan van mourik www.rhdba.com 802.11b bit
