I successfully use WiFi networking at home. It was been working
great except when the microwave is on or someone is using our
cordless telephone. I had it at 802.11b and it was a bit jumpy
(until I lowered the quality). When I moved to 802.11g, everything
was great (as long as no phone or microwave). This electric wire
solution looks cool though.
