Hello all. I would like to move my computer to our spare bedroom where there
is no cable outlet for our internet connection. Would I be good plugging the cable line into a wireless router and installing a wireless NIC in my desktop? Also, are there any brands that I should be wary of or look at favorably? Thanks for any help! Ferny |

Get yourself a Netgear wireless router and a netgear PCI wireless NIC. -- <- Shenan -> -- The information is provided "as is", with no guarantees of completeness, accuracy or timeliness, and without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

Buffalo is by far the best networking gear out there. It is better than
NetGear, Linksys, and light tears ahead of the lowly Belkin product line. I make my living installing network gear, both consumer and industrial, and I can wholeheartedly recommend the Buffalo brand above ALL others for home use.

They helped a ton. One thing, it appears that the "G" standard is twice as fast as the "B" flavor. What does this mean in the real world? In my case, I play games online. Will a transmission speed of 54MB/sec be noticeable over 22Mb/sec when playing a hectic fragfest in Unreal? While money isn't an issue with this, I want to be sure I'm not paying for something I won't use. So what I want to know is: as a gamer, am I better with G or B? Ferny |

Time to clear up some confusion. The 54Mbps rating has nothing to do
whatsoever with your Internet download speed. the 54Mbs is the theoretical limit of transfers between computers on the local network. Your internet speed is determined by your ISP, the line conditions, and the settings for the various hardware and software that are used while surfing the net, and the number of users inline in your NODE if you are using cable modem.. G is faster than G on the LAN, but also offers advantages in security.

Edit to above post;
Last line should read that G is faster than B on the LAN and offers better security. Bobby "NoNoBadDog!" <mypants_bjsledgeATpixi.com> wrote in message news:%23P%... > Time to clear up some confusion.
