How about this fecking wifi gadget:

you don't need a cable between the router and this one - a sort of wireless repeater.
I have tested one and works great, but the speed seems to go down about 40%...anyway..

3COM website has downloads for some which now include WDS. Might be appropriate for your model.

I expect it will halve your bandwidth though/

Then you need one of these - http://reviews.cnet.com/Hawking_HSB1...-31126286.html

Be aware that they might not be legal in this country and that they can interfere with other wireless devices (like baby monitors and cordless phones) so your neighbours may not be too happy.

'Ideal for LAN Parties'? Jeez...

Actually, I'm trying to avoid any cables whatsoever.

Two of these - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...tml?NGR-WGE111 - with a long cable in between?

Take no notice of the word Game, that's just marketing speak. They allow a device with a wired only connection to get onto a wireless network. With two of them chained together you can bridge your wireless network.
