Two Linksys WAP54G units, that's what I'd do. The WAP54G is fairly old so may be

But you're not a Linksys fan, are you?
No, but from what I've recently learned, MoCa is going to be a great solution and I
think it's what i'm going to go with.
I ran a wifi bridge many years ago when I lived in Philly. Never worked well and then the
school across the street put in a bajillion million watt APs that used EVERY FUCKING
AVAILABLE CHANNEL and my bridge just stopped working completely at that point.
That's when I was introduced to MoCA. 100mbit and solid. Also, latency is much lower
than wireless.
Also, very cheap (looking now, NIM100s are $15/each on ebay but I paid $5/each for mine)
and at least here in the US coax is almost guaranteed to be in place in pretty much every
house so you rarely even have to do any major wire pulls.
I should probably have asked my friend who works for a local cableco instead as I lost
the bid on the one. ;)
At least I got a lot of 2 I'm not patient when it comes to networking.
