My router is in a different room than my "computer lab." I'd prefer not to have to buy 3 or 4 different wireless adapters since I already have plenty of Cat5 cable and a switch. Should I look at getting a cheap wireless bridge? What's a good, cheap wireless bridge? Can I share the wireless connection from one computer to the switch and then have the rest of the computers feed off of that (basically set up my one computer as a wireless bridge).

I guess I'm asking what's the easiest way to do this?
 
You could get one wireless adapter and just use one of the computers in there to share the internet with the rest of your comps.

why not run one cat5 cable to the wireless router?


I'd have to run the cable through all kinds of walls and up a story. Easier to just do wireless :).
