Hello -
I have 2 small workgroups (each less than 4 computers, all with wired
ethernet cards already installed) that I would like to "bridge" together
using wireless ethernet. The workgroups are about 50 metres apart. It would
be very helpful if the "bridges" have built-in 4-port switches so that I
don't need an a switch at each end to connect the computers. Also, the
option of external antenna is desirable. Low-cost would also be good.
I haven't found any product yet that meets all these requirements.
The Linksys WET54GS5 looks like it might be suitable, when it becomes
available in the UK, but I suspect the cost of a pair will be quite high.
Can anyone advise on which products available in the UK might be suitable?
Thanks,
Simon
