Consider these instead (same company, different page/link)...
At
http://www.netgear.com/Products/Powe...essPoints.aspx
They give details on their powerline wireless access point....
Basically, for about $130, for two units, one plugs into the modem or
router, the other plugs into almost any electric outlet (usually on the same
transformer, very rare to ever have multiple drops for one home/apartment),
and transmits the signal over the powrline at 54 Mbps, to the second unit
which is it's own access point.. Can be used directly off the cable/dsl
modem, or in my case, I have it plugged into my linksys wireless router
instead (giving me two networks)..
Beauty of it is, no cables, no wiring, just plug the stuff in, and when you
move unplug it and take it with you.. However there is a bad part, it costs
a bit more than just a wireless router (probably $50-$60 more)... Don't
know what your economic circumstances are, but it was the best extra few
bucks I ever spent.. During the nice months of the year, I just plug it in
to one of the exterior ac sockets and use my PDA and laptops in the back
yard.
HOWEVER, I have no idea if the power in your area is the same as the US
(they have seperate pages for non us countries), so you maye have to get
there after you select a country...
