That works, but there is a cost - more electricity to run a PC than a small retail WIFi router. If you have a home media server, just combine them all into one like I have. Shuttle K45 SFF Celeron E1200 1GB RAM Windows 2003 R2 Standard Routing and Remote Access DHCP / DNS UPnP Media Server for my Home Network (stream my DVD collection to my 360 as an extender) PRTG for Traffic Graphing cFos for Traffic Shaping I kept my 802.11n router as an AP because I want to use the 802.11n PCI card for my desktop so I can move it to a location that doesn't have wired ethernet access. But you could easily turn it into an 802.11n AP too! You can do this with Linux for free, although it's a bit more difficult and not as intuitive.
