You've been to Radio Shack I see. <G> 150 foot range...you better stay in the house with the notebook. And have an average size house. I have a couple 900MHz remote phones I use on the job site, they claim they'll work up to 1000 feet from the base unit - 300 feet is the best we do. The idea is good but I have my doubts.

Wireless in the house: Some David person says, abut Thiin's Network Utility Box, "I was planning to wire Cat5...". I notice they don't have a price on the web site, yet. Besides Scrapp's worries about range, I'd guess that Cat5 and 10Base-T (or even 100Base-T) is cheaper than the cost of wireless NICs. Since you're wiring a new house, it should be easy to do, and it will run faster. That doesn't mean you won't want an auto-connecting device on your house-net to bring you onto the Internet whenever you need it, but I can't see wanting a wireless LAN if I could put the wires in place easily. Your neighbor's new cordless phone (which might also be 2.4GHz spread spectrum) won't interfere with wires, either. I like wireless stuff... and I am occasionally involved in building some of it, but I'd put in wires in the house if I could. If you have trouble, you can borrow my long drill for going through walls and floors.... Dick
