The computer and laptop would be around 15-20 metres apart, and the signal would have to pass through about 4 walls and a couple of closed doors. We have a 2mbps internet connection and i was planning to use a D-Link Router. Thanks in advance	Herbie_Dog (9286)

Thanks in advance You dont usually notice any reduction in WAN speed unless the signal gets really low but you will get a huge reduction in LAN speed so if you have two computers shared then copying files from to the other will slow very much.
