TP, they're aimed at retail consumers right? I hope so. I might pick up one for my home. Right now I have cat-5 wire running all over my house. Very unsightly indeed. I need a wireless basestation badly!

I don't know about the Cisco product, but I looked into wireless home networks a little bit a couple of weeks ago. At best they claim 2Mbps and some only 1Mbps. Since you're using cat-5 wire I'll assume that you currently have a 100Mbps network and predict that you'd hate the wireless network's performance for everything but surfing.

Wait until at least 10Mbps networks are available at a home price.

If I ever have a house built for me I'm going to have a wire closet with a 16- or 32-port switch and at least one network jack in each room, including the garage and the john.
