So, our Linksys wireless router that my wife and I have had for about six and a half years is starting to get quirky; I'm having to re-boot it and/or factory-reset the thing almost every day now...
I read some excellent reviews about Apple's options.
Now, here's the thing...my wife and I both have tower PCs that currently have wired connections. I did a bit of research on AirPort Express, but that's 100% wireless. Now, the AirPort Extreme has an option for wired computers, but it's pretty overkill including the workload it can handle AND the price.
Is there some way I can kind of go in between??? is there a way to, say, hack or adapt the AirPort Express to work on a wired connection (like with some kind of bridge or something)??? The only other way it'd be useful is if we bought wifi cards for our two towers...
