One connection works absolutely fine on wireless 802.11g with excellent 
signal strength.  I've not tried two at the same time.

Wired is generally better, but one wireless G link will be fine.  If 
both wireless machines aren't likely to be running at the same time, 
then no problem.

Personally I think there's not enough on to warrant more than one FE, 
but we don't watch a lot of TV here.
