But I bet that you are connected at 10 or 100 and not 1000. Take a look at the specs for 802.11n. N lap tops (with their own internal nic card) have just been hitting the market place in about the last year or less. When I purchased my HP lap top last November there were only a few in the overall market that supported 802.11n.

I run have a D-link DIR-655 that supports 802.11n but I have turned off the wireless and run everything hard wired. Connected to this router I have three computers and my HP Windows Home Server. Everything except the lap top are running at 1 gigabit and the lap top is at 100.

Back to the original question and there should not be any problem ringing wireless over a distance of 200 feet even through walls even under the old 802.11 standards.
