Does anyone have thoughts on this setup, snip

Yes, stop being a lazy bodger, install a wired Cat5 network...

Come on, ethernet is dead as the dodo.
I suppose you have telephone outlets in the loo.

Wireless rules.

Beg to differ.. especially when there is a bit of 2.4Ghz congestion.

Ever heard of 802.11a?

Yes in all its flavours!..


Ever heard of netstumbler?..

Encryption.

Yes bin there.. broke that!..

As part of the day job we have strung 1.4, 2.4, and 5.8, 7, and 23 Ghz
links across short and quite lengthy distances.

If you possibly can, unless you live in the middle of nowhere, wire it.
I have yet to see an operational link thats anywhere near as good as
wired and with the proliferation of 2.4 Ghz devices and leaky microwave
ovens, one of the prime suspects, plus video senders etc none of these
units seem to ever achieve all what it sez on the tin!. If you must have
wireless consider it useful for temporary connections and nothing much
else..
