i would like some more info about location free players in the home please?

Question

i have a linksys router, 3 wirless computers, 1 hard wired into router, plus a sony psp.
I would like to find a location free meadia player that will allow me to hook up my basic cable, and i would aslo like to hook up my dvd changers to this location free meadia player so that every wifi computer and other comp's can watch my dvd's by wifi from the changer through the location free player. Is thier such a device that will allow multiple wifi connections at the same time, and is this device capable of streaming different meadia at the same time..
example: computer A wants to watch a dvd from the changer via wifi AND computer B wants to watch cable TV. AND computer C wants to watch another dvd located on a seperate dvd changer.
...so if this is not possible....what can i do to stream my dvd's and be able to watch different dvd's on different computers at the same time?

IEEE 802.11 also known by the brand Wi-Fi, denotes a set of Wireless LAN/WLAN standards developed by working group 11 of the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee (IEEE 802). The term 802.11x is also used to denote this set of standards and is not to be mistaken for any one of its elements. There is no single 802.11x standard. The term IEEE 802.11 is also used to refer to the original 802.11, which is now sometimes called "802.11 legacy". For the application of these standards see Wi-Fi.



A Compaq 802.11b PCI cardThe 802.11 family currently includes six over-the-air modulation techniques that all use the same protocol. The most popular techniques are those defined by the b, a, and g amendments to the original standard; security was originally included and was later enhanced via the 802.11i amendment. 802.11n is another modulation technique that has recently been developed; the standard is still under development, although products designed based on draft versions of the standard are being sold. Other standards in the family (c–f, h, j) are service enhancements and extensions or corrections to previous specifications. 802.11b was the first widely accepted wireless networking standard, followed (somewhat counterintuitively) by 802.11a and 802.11g.

802.11b and 802.11g standards use the 2.40 GHz (gigahertz) band, operating (in the United States) under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Because of this choice of frequency band, 802.11b and 802.11g equipment can incur interference from microwave ovens, cordless telephones, Bluetooth devices, and other appliances using this same band. The 802.11a standard uses the 5 GHz band, and is therefore not affected by products operating on the 2.4 GHz band.

The segment of the radio frequency spectrum used varies between countries, with the strictest limitations in the United States. While it is true that in the U.S. 802.11a and g devices may be legally operated without a license, it is not true that 802.11a and g operate in an unlicensed portion of the radio frequency spectrum. Unlicensed (legal) operation of 802.11 a & g is covered under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Frequencies used by channels one (1) through six (6) (802.11b) fall within the range of the 2.4 gigahertz amateur radio band. Licensed amateur radio operators may operate 802.11b/g devices under Part 97 of the FCC Rules and Regulations, allowing increased power output but not allowing any commercial content.
