Replacing UTP with wireless, what equipment?

We have a network running 2000 server and fixed IP adresses in the
192.168... range.

The router is a 24 port 3Com superstack.

One of the workstations is connected by a very circuitous UTP cable which
often gives us trouble. It is across a driveway in another building about 50
yards away. I would like to replace this single connection with wireless.
This remote PC is in a warehouse and its main function is the printing of
picking slips sent to it from one other PC on the network.

I dont know much about wirless networking but I envisage plugging an access
point into the above router in place of where the current UTP cable is
plugged and a wireless NIC in the remote PC. I would also use external
antennas both sides to improve throughput.

Is my thinking correct? Are there any possible problems that I could
experience setting this up?

Netgear WG602 access point and WAG311GE PCI adapter have been suggested as a
possible solution. Does this make sense?

What would you recommend?

Thanks

Joel

Thanks Jack,
The environment should be fine. I will be able to minimise the coax runs to
a few yards at most.

I went to your link below. Seems that a bridge uses 2 access points as
opposed to a single access point and a wireless NIC, is that correct?
