  Kath,
  I just put in a wireless network last week, as I finally convinced my
  wife I needed a laptop.  Bought a LinkSys WRT54G Router with a firewall
  that has NAT Technology and SPI, see www.linksys.com for an explanation.
  Laptop has built-in wireless 802.11g.  Right out of the box and
  connected to my desktop upstairs, the LinkSys router signal was picked
  up by my laptop on the first floor opposite side of the house and was
  cruising at 54Mb/sec.  Cruising the WEB and the phone rings,Uh Oh, it's
  a 2.4Ghz Siemens phone.  Didn't interfere with the wireless connection
  at all.  Also I have a 900 MHz signal constantly being sent to the
  kitchen TV, also no problem.  I love it!  Wife is upstairs doing her
  thing and I'm downstairs on the sofa doin mine. The LinkSys web site
  also has easy to follow instructions on how to secure your router from
  hackers.

  Can I ask - we are about to rewire (as part of a re-build) our old home
  and that incorporates my office.

  I had planned to ask for Cat5 cable throughout the house to say 6 or 7
  points for a network, given that we will never again be able to do it so
  easily.

  But is this really necessary given wireless networks? What do you all
  think?
