Network hardware advice

[mstephens]

At the moment i have a home network with ADSL router/firewall but it's all wired. I'm looking to move house and unfortunately ADSL and cable aren't available but i can get a 512kbps wireless internet connection. In the house i'd like to use 802.11g wireless networking but i'm not sure what options i have for an all in one 802.11g firewall and switch or, whether i will need the firewall and seperate 802.11g access point. Anyone in here doing something similar or know of any products they would recommend? With the wireless internet connection i can either have a single static IP, or a small block if i wanted to host anything myself. For a start i'm expecting to use the single IP and NAT multiple machines. Thanks Matt

Build a Firewall/NAT_Router/WLAN-AP yourself: There are quite a few Linux-based router-distros available: Fli4L[^] IPCop spring to my mind. There are more. With the right WLAN-Card, these things can play access-point in a WLAN. (You only need a spare computer - Pentium-class is more than enough)
