New Linksys wireless network...is this right?

1. My DSL modem and current (wired) router is in another room, due to
the previous owner's DSL installation.

2. My computers and ethernet laser printer are in a different room.

Should I connect a WAP11 (Wireless Access Point) to my existing wired
router and use WET11 Ethernet Bridges for my computers and printer?

The computers have no available PCI or USB ports.

Thanks very much in advance...

That's one solution - although you only need a single WET in the other room,
with a switch attached.

But don't overlook the simple solution: Cat 5 cable isn't that thick. Have you
considered just runna cable under the carpet, along the wall, through the
closet, etc.?
