I have a setup here where I use a router connected to the 3800 (a
bridge would be the right solution, I am not sure if this works with
every router).

I did not found any difference.

Till now (about 500 pages, mostly A3+) I never had a problem, distance
here from one corner to the next is about 4 meter)

Absolutely!

I did not found any difference, I however also did not perform
measurements.

Try to get a Bridge and a wlan card for the PC. (I use separate
network for printer, I did want to keep it separate from internet)
