I'll explain the setup properly and hopefully that'll clear up what I'm after

We currently have a wireless Netgear router in Lynne's mum's house (http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/dg834gt.asp), and in our current house we can pick up the signal with fairly decent speeds (over 3MB download, 50ms ping). What I'd like to do is get an access point that will sit downstairs next to the Xbox so I can wire in the 360 (I assume most, if not all AP's have a few ethernet ports on them) and broadcast the signal upstairs, where the PC will get the signal wirelessly (with a wireless PCI card that I'll be buying shortly).

When we get our own internet up and running in the house, I'd then move the AP into Lynne's mum's house so that we can hook her PC into it (via ethernet) so she can use our internet without having to worry about buying her own.

The AP I'm currently looking at is http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=276873 . Have I misunderstood what I can do with it?

It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
