i'm giving my brother in law my hdr 212. obviously it's a series 1 with a modem. he doesn't have a landline or voip service at his house, only broadband and cellphone.
he'd like to keep the wireless option under $100
he'd like to hook it up wirelessly to his network. he has a wireless router
what are his options?
i'm guessing:
airnet is an option, but i don't like how i need to find a prism based wireless card and then add an external antenna.
what i was thinking was turbonet, then getting a wireless bridge like this one:

would that work?
also, what about X-factor card they have on ebay?
is it an ok substitute for turbonet or is it crap?
