Default Re: astroglide\'s home theater: what i own, what i would buy today

I'm setting up a new home theater system and would like to hook several components into my wireless network.

I have a Linksys router across the room hooked up to a cable modem and my desktop.

There are three components I'd like to get on the wireless network: a Series 3 TiVo, a Slingbox, and my A/V receiver (which the manual tells me can play audio files off of my computer).

I'd ideally like to get a single wireless bridge to sit on top of the cabinet where the components are (minimizing clutter/wiring is a big priority). Are there bridges that I can hook up to three different devices, or will I need a switcher as well? Do I need adapters for any of the devices on top of the bridge? (I've heard that I may need one for the TiVo.) Any recommendations for brands/models I should look for?

I'm willing to spend more $$ for a better product, if it makes a difference. Ease of setup is a big concern too -- I really don't know what I'm doing, and would like to keep this as simple as possible.

All suggestions appreciated. By this way, this thread was invaluable in helping me pick out all my stuff. Assuming the hookup goes well, I'll post a TR next week on the whole system.
