[AccessD] MIMO-G router

I would love to do that but the "details" always get in the way.  My office
is up in "the attic", in a "bonus room" kind of thing above my bedroom.
Thus on the other side of the office wall is the rest of the attic for the
house.  I can certainly run a cable through there.  The problem is that the
attic gets well over 130 degrees F during the day in the summer and so no
electronics are going to like that environment.  Thus I would have to snake
the cable down a wall to get it into the house.  And therein lies the
problem, I don't know how to do that.  Not to mention all the nasty
fiberglass insulation and stuff.

John,

  Just do a single run of Cat5e (6 if you might go to gigabit) over to the
other end of the house and put a WAP on the end of it and be done with it.

  You'll have plenty of coverage for the entire house that way.

  You can do this on the cheap to if you have another wireless router laying
around.  Just plug the cable into one of the ports (not the Internet Port),
disable all the routing type functions (DHCP, etc), assign a static IP to
the box, and it will act as a wireless access point.

Jim.
