I started out by building a mesh G network using linksys 54g's. This was good for the basics but when it came to streaming the vob's it often break down even, also interference was causing speed drop outs so it would renegotiate at 12 or so for a wile, this would make streams unusable even if a I set s huge cache on mp layer. So I sucked it up and spent a weekend and about a hundred bucks wiring the whole house with cat. It was a total pain in the ass but the end result has been very worth it. WAF has gone way up since I finished that.
