I want to share my cable conection between my Xbox, PC, and soon a Pocket PC. I love my connection speed to the internet, which has been tested on many different sites like Cnets bandwith meter, to be about 1800 Kbps or 1.8 Mbps (same thing). Now wireless networks running 802.11b transmit at upto 11Mbps, right? If this is true, I figure that speed to drop down to about 3Mbps if I take into account distance and walls. That's almost two times as fast as my connection speed. So, would that mean that technicaly I wouldn't notice any difference in my connection speed to the internet? I'm also really considering installing a new 802.11g compliant network now that their poping up. But if either will make my connection speed suffer terribly, I'll just drill holes in my walls and I'd rather not. Plus I like the idea of surfing the web on a Pocket PC....hmm, maybe even a Tablet PC (once I hit that "Power Ball"!!). I'll appreciate any help to allow me to make an informed desicion. Thanks!
