I'm buying wireless equipment for my parents newly remodeled lake house. It's the least I can do for all the free food and drinks my friends and I enjoy there every summer. Plus I want to be able to have access in every room and patio.

What I've purchased is :apple: 2 Airport Express and :apple: 1 Airport Extreme BS. I plan to extend the wireless network with the AE and take advantage or airtunes by placing them behind the TV stereos. The AEBS will go in their study with a USB hub to connect an external hard drive for backups and a printer. They use windows PCs. 🙁

What are you doing to provide great wireless coverage and services? I'd like to give them a really sweet setup that will meet all their needs and give some cool features. 😎

Let's hear about your cool setups so I can get some good ideas. 😀

well for my apartment I've got a Time Capsule and a printer hidden away in my closet. Very conveinent.
 
I have an AEBS doing the routing and creating an "N" wireless network. I also have a separate "G" network handled by a Linksys WRT 54 GSX. Strangely, the "G" network reaches much farther than the "N". My home is just under 4,200 sq. ft. and you can pick up a strong wireless signal from anywhere in my house or yard.
