Hi all, can anyone answer this for me?

I have a home network using traditional ethernet hubs (one upstairs, one downstairs). I have a long ethernet cable linking the two together. I'd like to replace this cable with a wireless link.

Several suppliers (with networking knowledge as dubious as mine!) have said I just need to put a WiFi Access Point on each hub and 'hey presto' it will all work. Call me sceptical, but I just can't see it being THAT easy! Am I right?

Many thanks in advance!

Of course your network will likely be a LOT slower, but yeah, that is
basically it.
