Hope that kinda makes sense!!!
Yep, cheers for explaining that, I was assuming the same but wanted to check with the resident expert.
So, just to complicate your answer a little, if I add an AP on the edge of the current router's broadcasting capabilitys, does that mean that the speed when connected to the AP itself won't be as good - so do you have to move the AP within a reasonable connection of the router for it to then amplify the strong signal again?

dude, seriously, save yourself a lot of agro,wasted time AND wasted money, cable it direct, wireless blows
I hear what you are saying and I would be doing that in seconds if it was that simple, but it isn't just my rig that needs access to the net. It's laptops, PS3, phones, Wii, other rigs etc..
I'm not really looking for speed for one device.
After looking at all the different options (mains, cable, wireless), wireless meets the dynamic usage at our house.
Once I decided that, I then needed to know how to get the best from a wireless setup. It may not be as fast as the other solutions, but if I make it as fast as I can, it should still stream movies, play games, transfer files, iPlayer etc and get everyone on the net all at the same time - that's the key really, it's lots of devices using the connection..
