My current network plan is as follows:
- There seems to be a consensus that the Linksys WRT54G is the router of choice. Or at least a member of that family; the cool kids these days sometimes get the WRT54GL.
- I’m thinking that a wireless bridge is the way to connect the upstairs computer; I like connecting cables more than dealing with cards and Linux drivers, and enough other people have agreed with me that I don’t think I’m crazy to feel that way. I don’t have a firm idea of what bridge to get, but the Linksys WET54G is the leading candidate.
I’ll think about it a few more days; I don’t want to order anything until next month, and it will take a week or so for the Ultra 20 to arrive.

[…] I’ve ordered the new computers and the network equipment. The Ultra 20 and the network stuff will arrive in a week or so; the Mac will take more like four weeks. Which is just as well – it will give me time to transition my home directory and other assorted data away from this computer and onto the Ultra 20, without being tempted to play with the Mac at the same time. And I still need to shop for some of the hardware in person – I didn’t see any reason to order a keyboard, mouse, and monitor online. (But where to buy them, given my antipathy for Fry’s? Best Buy? Circuit City? Some place smaller?) […]
