K5WK Ken:
At the control end, I am asking for best reccomendation -- how to interface to my router wirelessly.  It is about 60 feet away in another building.

K4GTU:
Buy the remoterig WiFi Mod. for the 1258. I just did mine and it works great except for "pay as you go" networks. K4GTU

In addition, you can use any wireless bridge on the market. The one I have been using
for a couple of years is the Netgear WNCE2001:

I have a couple other routers that work in bridge mode as well. I recently bought a D-Link DR-505
to replace my aging portable router:

Of course, the embedded RemoteRig version is the luxury version, but you have many choices.

K5WK Ken:
I think I tried the WCNE2001 a couple of months ago.  I could not get to work beyond about 10 meters.  Did I get a bad unit?  Is your wireless between rooms and how far?

dj0qn:
I am not sure what the range is, but I have used it well beyond that distance. The best
would be to use a bridge that has an external antenna connector for longer distances.

For example, the embedded RemoteRig board has an antenna connector.

For really long distances, I use bridges from Ubiquity with an attached 23 db patch panel, such as the bullet:

I also have their Nanostation, which has an embedded antenna and gives several hundred meters
of range:

I have bridged nearly 50 km using 5 GHz Bullets  ;)
