With a wired network you can have 100 mbps in each direction down each cable all at the same time - an enormous increase in bandwidth.
I was looking at the wired bit, can I send at 100Mbs from ether port 1 to ether port 4? I got the impression from your post 15 that would not be the case. To increase the bandwidth of the wireless, I suppose you could put two WAPs on the network?
