I can't move my router into basement since I don't have a line there so 
that's why I wanted to use wireless. I really don't need speed of CAT5 
(100Mbit) but this router can manage up to 108 Mbit link (if you are 
close enough) and my distance will be 10 meters with two brick walls so 
I think it shouldn't drop link to less than 54 Mbit.
Atheros based chips - well if I by card over internet I really don't 
know if it has this kind of chips since this is not advertised in the 
selling leaflet.
