Hi All,

I'm in the process of building a HTPC, which is located right next to my cable modem/wireless router.

I want to hook up a wireless keyboard (looking into logitech dinovo edge, soon as it goes on sale!) to the HTPC. but i'm concerned about signal strength and interference with my wifi network.

1) anyone have any experience with this kind of setup? i don't want anything messing with my wifi network. the HTPC is on the 2nd floor of a 3-floor townhouse, and the idea is to get wifi throughout the house for internet access and media sharing to any floor.

2) is there such thing as a wifi keyboard? where the keyboard is basically a network device with a MAC address and wireless receiver/transmitter? i imagine that this way, instead of interfering with the network, it would actually be a part of the network.

thanks!
