wMVP is wireless worth it?

[ww4397]

I have two MVPs (wired versions) each of which is plugged into its own Zyxel P-330W wireless router setup for use as a wireless bridge. This gives me two "wireless" MVPs on a 54g wireless network (with WEP encryption). The wireless router that the P-330Ws bridge to is a Belkin product (notice that the manufacturers are different, this can be an issue with some hardware, but not in this case) and is located in the basement. The MVPs are on the main and second floors. This setup works GREAT and the P-330W can be had at CompUSA for between $5 and $20 (after rebates) during periodic sales events.

FWIW, CompUSA has the P-330W on sale this week (10/22 - 10/28) for $9.99 after reabtes. Find it here. Go wireless for cheap!

Hmm... Very odd.

I've got a Zyxel P334 that's been overheating, and shutting it's wireless lan down. I've liked the Zyxel for the last year until this has happened. (last 2 months)

Well, I was happy to find out the firmware I had, had a bug with my exact problem... So hopefully it's fixed now.

Here are instructions I found on how to put the router into bridge mode.
