Stop the bus, I want a Wii Wii

I have been checking out the Nintendo Wii, and I'm impressed.
not only is it backwards compatible with the Game Cube, but you get a virtual machine with the whole of nintendo's back catalogue, from the NES to the N64.
So, guess what I'll be putting all the money that I get for christmas towards.

I have a really fast connection with my isp (10 meg), and whilst I get this speed fully upstairs on my main pc & my burner, I barely get a 4 meg connection downstairs on my Laptop.
I have managed to isolate the problem to the Dumb Hub that splits the connection between the Wireless acces point & the Network hard drive as it is 5/10 Mbps not the full 10/100Mbps that the rest of my equipment is.

One of my mates has managed to find a 54g wireless router for under £15 including shipping, so he ordered that for me.
Hopefully he should have that down Da GC for me tonight & that should bring my browsing & file storage back up to speed.

Here's hoping anyway.

Peace Out.
