Does anyone have a wireless access point that they would recommend. I have computers all over the house and want to network them, unfortunately there is not a convenient spot for the hub. I'm just looking to share adsl, files, and some lan gaming.
Thanks,

all I have to say on that is to know what yur doin, wireless is problematic, im not saying this from experience but everyone who has it has complained to me that i know of. Yur also likely to get interference from other devices.:(
The SMC 7004AWBR is pretty good.
The biggest problem is range. If your house sprawls over a large area, don't count on getting coverage throughout the house with just one AP. If you are not sure that a single AP will do, make sure that you buy an AP which will allow you to change the antennas easily. That way you can extend the range without buying a new AP. have a look at practicallynetworked.com (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/) for more info on AP's.
The only ones that I have seen will let you change the antenna withough doing some soldering is the ornico units, although there may be others by now.
