Personally, I would not get a wireless router just to avoid running the cable. And if I got a wireless router, I would make sure I learn the technical solutions to ensure security of the traffic going over the air, or I would get someone who knows how to set it up for me. There are many true stories about the ease of folks cruising the streets with laptops and gear to listen in and capture the traffic on wireless networks. In the end, I would not trust the security safeguards for wireless networks as much as a basic category 5 (or better) cable. If you have requirements that at least one computer in the network be mobile about the house, then Apple's own Airport is one option, also Asante and Macsense. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
