My understanding is that the WiFi channels in Japan are slightly different than those in the USA. I think it is just that there are more channels available in Japan, but that is something to consider in your shopping.
Thank you. The split is a good call. I plan to use a Wireless hub that I will buy in the US next month. If so can I grab a Linksys wireless bridge at the same time and have no problems?

Specific router/bridge combo advice very welcome too.

I have a big pipeline with good speed coming out of the wall but a long and awkward shaped apartment hence the bridge.

Thinking about this one: Linksys WET11 Wireless Ethernet Bridge

And if so which Linksys router will be best.

Still the niggling concern on the current strength as well.

Thoughts anyone??
