Decent cheap -N bridge (if such a thing exists)

    Because I want to tie all the things that need replastering together in my new gaff I've not put CAT6 in yet - there's windows and alarm wiring to go in yet :( So I'm stuck using the PCs upstairs on a wireless bridge.

    I have an old Linksys WET54G which works to an extent, but channel overcrowding coupled with poor -G performance on my UPC router means its not very reliable. One machine has trouble downloading anything over ~20MB from FTP for instance.

    Does anyone have experience of a decent quality and preferably not too expensive -N bridge? Doesn't even need more than one ethernet port as I have the machines switched properly.

    (dont bother with the "range extender" functionality on any of these)

    Just plug it into the upc router via ethernet, then disable dhcp on one of the routers. Done. No bridging needed.

    Class N makes a huge difference, I have perfect signal all over house. Compared to crap signal from the default upc wifi.
