   hi there   
      
   I am just wondering what the general view is of the astonishing number   
   of wireless routers on the market (both xDSL and cable) which are   
   offering wireless connections of hundreds of megabits, but have no wired   
   connection faster than 100M.   
      
   I realise that most connections are directed toward the internet, and   
   that that majority of customers have download speeds less than 100M so   
   its not really a problem. However, for anybody using a media server or   
   any other service on the LAN there's hardly any point in going wireless   
   at all   
      
   There must be some rationale for this, apart from plain cost cutting -   
   what is it ?
