Default Pseudo-WiFi

Most of my devices are what I call pseudo-WiFi. They're hardwired into a WiFi bridge, so I guess I can count them.
  • Linksys WRT54G router
  • Three WiFi bridges (home office, family room, daughter's room)
  • Toshiba home laptop (I could just connect it to my router in the same room, but that's one more thing to unplug)
  • iPAQ hx2795 Pocket PC (plus dead iPAQ 5550 and iPAQ 3870 with WiFi card in sleeve)
  • Two Replay TV boxes via bridges (plus another hardwired and two dead ones)
  • HP office desktop via switch/hub connected to bridge
  • Cisco VOIP phone via switch/hub connected to bridge
  • Brother multi-function printer/fax/scanner via switch/hub connected to bridge
  • Sony PS3
  • Sony PSP (first day purchase)
  • Nintendo Wii
There are also a couple of dead or almost-dead laptops.

I set up my first WiFi network back in summer 2001 because I bought my daughter a Sony VAIO laptop for her 10th birthday and I wanted her to be able to use the Internet without running cable. We still had dial-up back then, so I had an SMC router with a modem inside.
