hmm, settign it up might be difficult tho..

anyways it'll be good to have if there are lot of laptop users.
or if u have computer in some place where u cant get the nic cable to.

high mobility, but you sacrifice speed

1. Not having to run cables to other rooms...

2. The geek factor...

The only advantage is not having to run cable. The disadvantages are higher in number.

-Difficult to setup
-Insecure (might not be an issue at home)
-More expensive
-Prone to interruptions
-Slow compare to 100baseTX
