Wireless connection

[talyn00]

ok, here's the setup. I have a few computers connected with ethernet cables to a switch in one room and a cable modem connected to a router in another room. how do I wirelessly get the switch (and thus the computers connected to it) connected with the cable modem or router without installing wireless pci cards in the computers.

I think you are looking for something called a wireless bridge: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/wireless_bridge.htm

You need one Wireless Client that does not need software drivers (Aka Group Bridge), thus it can be plugged into a Switch.

Unfortunately they are expensive. So it becomes a matter of cost.

Few Wireless Client Card on sale with rebate Vs. One Group Bridge.

So would a Linksys WRT54G (replacing the wired router with a wireless router w/access point as opposed to adding an access point to the wired router) and a WET54G do the job or can you recommend something better?

The WRT54G will work just fine.
