If you do get a single ethernet cable to a switch/hub they will still be
sharing that single cable. ÂThat's a constraint itself.

Yes, but 100mbit Ethernet shared with 8 endpoints is still going to be
loads faster than Wireless N with 8 endpoints in realistic conditions.

Remember, the advertised 300 megabit are _without_ wireless management
overhead (which plain old Ethernet doesn't have). With one endpoint,
in a noise free environment, you may get up to 150 megabit/s
throughput. But as soon as you get more endpoints, this will decrease
dramatically.

Wireless is not the answer.
