Here is my problem - I have a PC in my guest bedroom I use as a baby monitor, it runs VLC streaming from a webcam in my kids room, we use this to watch him at night and during naps (11mo old). I have to use wireless N, the signal is very poor and I use a noodle strainer as a dish, this isn't a great solution as it only helps by around 20% and is really in the way. The wireless issues I'm having stem from too many walls/floors in the way and a heavily saturated 2.4ghz area. I cannot run any cabling up to the room as that would require extensive work/cutting of walls/etc.
The solution I can think of would be to use the existing rg6 (single drop to the splitter, it is disconnected as I don't have cable), an adapter and some 10base2 cards I have lying about. The bridging part would be relatively easy enough, just not sure if this would work. Right now anything would be better than the terrible connection I get to the player.
