Damn. I remember when wireless LAN was just a faint glow compared to now.

And I remember plug&pray, network instabilities and all that 🙂
WiFi took it's sweet time to get where it is now, and it's still rather slow.

And to think, I'm trying to figure out how to hardwire my entire house for ethernet.....all because wifi doesn't have the range to cover my entire house without having multiple routers/AP's.....

Ive never used them, but talked to a few people on other forums who say they can get ranges of ridiculous distances with their routers, not just basement to attic, but like streets away type of distances

At least we don't have those horrible third party wireless clients anymore.
To my understanding Windows didn't have a built in one until one of the Service Pack for Windows XP.
