Ah, until you said that I hadn't realised that you can use it to relay a WiFi signal to *cabled* PCs - I
thought you meant it was just for repeating the radio signal to other WiFi-equipped PCs! Now that would be a
very handy thing to do...

That's interesting - I imagine the switching behaviour takes processor cycles that otherwise can be used for
WiFi activity. Not something I would ever considered.
