Would you recommend finding a router that is compatible with the mac and using it as a bridge? From what little ive looked into this It really seems like a PITA. Using third party software too. I dunno.
I may steal a friends powerline and try it out at my house this weekend.
85s are in the 80 dollar range and 200s are in the 120 range.

AP bridges can be complicated... honestly if you want wireless just do basic wireless and get a USB NIC with external antenna.
Depending on the location/insulation/number of walls, you might be able to get away with 802.11g, but you might need 802.11n.
EDIT:: looks like affordable technology has finally caught up to the home/small business market. A year ago trying to find a decent AP bridge was like pulling teeth.... now they have options out there.
Might look into it that.. though it's still gonna cost ~100 and change.
This is obviously excluding finding a vintage WRT-54G that's capable of embedded linux and loading your own firmare on it, which is cheap, but not easy.
