is it possible to use an ethernet from the computer to the ip phone? this is if the computer is on wireless.
I think its much easier to convince for re-wiring than new handsets in my opinion. Wireless despite having the advantages of neatness and mobility, may present problems for you once you move to more sensitive application like voice. You will also not lose the investment you have already sunk on wireless infrastructure which can be used for those who wish to remain on it.

My issue is that the powers that be were advised to go wireless, and
they spent so much many moving to wireless for laptops and computers
and someone certainly forgot about the IP phones. So I here have
inherited this, and cannot convince that cabling works should be
re-done, since the existing cabling is pathetic in the first place. At
least the wireless adapter option looks like a compromise, since it
will only be the VOIP service on it - anyway, I may just bite the
bullet and go the cisco wireless phones route

Right now none of your options/ideas is good enough. The WLI-TX4-G54HP is
just another point of failure you are introducing.
Cabling done rightly should not be a problem either if you can stop thinking
'fancy' Wireless office:-)
You've said you are re-wiring so what is the problem boss?

Hi All,
I currently have VOIP SNOM phones all over the network and the current
challenge is that I need to eliminate as much cabling as possible. The
two scenarios am exploring are:
1. Buy wireless capable VOIP phones like the Cisco SPA525G2 - Downside
is the costs (about USD 250 each) and then what do I do with my over
100 units of the SNOM's? In this am looking for any alternatives which
have attractive costs - anyone dealing in this field. please advice.
2. Buy several units of ethernet to wireless adaptors like the
Buffallo wireless ethernet converted WLI-TX4-G54HP for every 4 phones
I have (close to 20 units required). I need to know if this is the
best there are on the market (only 4 ports) or there are any better
and cheaper devices. Am also not sure it might work, so anyone with
experience please share, and anyone know where I can get one for a
demo before I plunge heads first.
3. Any other solution that does not involve me cabling. Am actually
rewiring an office with close to 400 people and want to eliminate as
much cabling as possible.
Any thoughts are welcome!
