Thanks, one additional bit of info, I will beusing the Wireless netwok to feed mt Reply TV, Laptop and other (non-traditional PC's) devices to the net with the network I'm looking to set up. Weather I tap into starbucks network or another network is minor, rather I want to be able to control the acces spooint into my house with such a device as a Linksys EtherFast Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router w/4-Port Switch to connect al my devices to a wirless and flexible solution.
