Anyone wired for WiFi ?

Anyone set up a wireless network at home ?

Thoughts ? Problems ? Any particular products / makes you'd recommend (or otherwise) ?

Or shall I just run a 30m ethernet cable into the living room ...

Unfortunately (in hind sight) I've done this wrong .... I've already got a Linksys router (not wireless) which I've got 2 PC's connected to. Now I want to connect the laptop, which to be honest I've not been using until now. Not really want to have to buy another router just for the laptop .... is there some kind of cheap 'single PC transponder / receiver' type affair ?

Crumbs, didn't realise you lost so much speed ...

Wow, thanks for all the info guys, this is really useful !

Simon : see your point about speed .... like you say, 3 or 4meg (or whatever) is still faster than my broadband link (600k)

Andy : thanks for the link, I'll look into them

Dave : thanks for all the security stuff, interesting reading. Oh, and p.s. .... go to bed !!
