EASY - Should I use an access point or a bridger?
I have a simple question for somebody with more experience than me. I have a small wired network and one network jack still available. My problem is that the system I want to connect to it is in a room across the office (about 35 feet) and I don't want to run cable along the floor. I would like to use an 802.11g adapter to connect the computer to my network, but I am unsure of what to use on the other end with my available jack. Should I use a wireless access point or a wireless ethernet bridge? Or is there a better option than either of these. If you've had good experience with specific devices, model numbers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Thank you!

You could also look at the linksys turbo 54G models....go on their website and in product look at WRT54GS model.Its probably one of the most stable ones with a lot of horsepower and space in it.It also provides you with some type of QoS based on ports.Not that you need it now but if you ever decide to go VoIP this would be something already present in your router.
If you are interested in knowing more things about it let me know and I can provide you with more details about it but I would say that it is an amazing little equipment which can do a lot.

Thanks everyone for your help! I will be purchasing a Linksys access point to connect my wireless equipped computer to the switch.
Therefore sticking to one manufacturer and using turbo mode and two channels simultaneously you can get over 50Mbps.
