Networking stuff...

That is also HT related!

I moved into a new house this last weekend and I'm going to start working out how to network the place. I want to connect all of the networking AV equipment (BD, receiver, etc.) into the network, but the modem/router will be in the office.

Is there some kind of switch or something that can collect all of the inputs from the AV stuff, go wireless, then connect again at the modem? If that makes sense... I'm trying to avoid running wiring through the house.

Thanks!

Alright, that didn't take long. I guess I am looking for an "access point" in case anyone else was curious. I just couldn't think of the name haha.

Definitely!

Check out my review of this Belkin wireless link (which one is mine should be pretty obvious , plus it's the first one in the list as of me typing this). I mention it and my previous set up, which used a wireless adapter (with one ethernet port) with a switch (with five ports).

I connect up my AV gear doing what I think you want to do, so just let me know any questions that you have.

what you're looking for is called wireless bridge
one like Adam suggested would work as well as this one:
Newegg.com - D-Link DAP-1522 Wireless Gigabit Bridge/Access Point Xtreme N 2.4/ 5GHz Selectable Dual Band / Optimized for HD Video Streaming 802.11b/g/n
wireless speeds may vary drastically indoors, depends on distance and materials your house built with (aka if it's concrete, like we say in Brooklyn - Forget about it)
