I have a few questions about wireless routers. Here is my home setup:
Dell laptop with docking station. Dell Home computer (new) Compaq home computer (old) Currently I have DSL service with a 4 port wire router connected to both Dells. I use a wireless card for the laptop when at corp office and in airports. Here is what we want to do. Both Dells setup in my home office. Home computer direct connect to router, laptop using wireless card (so I can work in the garage and be connected to the my real job). Compaq setup in family room so 2yr old can have access to his websites. I would like to use a wireless card for the Compaq. so my long winded question is this..... what would be the best wireless router to use? does it matter what wireless card is used to connect with? My laptop uses a Cisco Systems 350 adapter. What wireless adapter would be best for the Compaq home computer? Sorry for OT questions. Thanks! - Garold |

If the range for the wireless link matters in your situation, stick to 802.11b - the range is significantly greater that .11g. I'm using a Linksys .11g wireless.
