Simple question please peeps. Now my server world is starting to get quite big I would like to link a access and crafting monitor from various points around the base so I don't have to keep returning to central room with the assembly chamber I'm guessing I think I could link extra access points with me cable but that would mean a lot of tracing. (My thaumcraft area is on other side of a mountain). So is there a wireless means to link without me cable. And yes I know about the small wireless panel. I'm talking about a crafting monitor. Many thanks

Basically you have 3 options if the distance is short enough the wireless access point works quite well, longer distances require either a long cable run or a large power production capability and the quantum bridge. The EnderIO Enderface doesn't work for AE, I tried it and while you can access the terminal GUI the browsing capability does not work.
I have 3 somewhat spread out areas in my current world (60-70 block cable run between all of them and my central base) and I have just run cables between them all with terminals and wireless points at them all. My next area will most likely be a few thousand blocks away (and in another dimension) so the quantum bridge will most definitely be used for that one.

As long as all chunks are loaded, I'd just tunnel and run ME Cable. Use your mini-map or coords from F3 to line up the sides, i.e. meet in the middle of the mountain. That's faster and lower risk than adding another mod and way less power than a pair of Quantum Bridges.

However, if you've never built one of those, I recommend building at least 1 pair. They are cool to look at.
