Make sure that what ever you choose it is 11g, not 11b.

11g is much faster.

If your router/hub is the same brand as the card in the PC you will

probably get further speed advantages.

Each manufacturer has his own speed tweaks to go beyond the standard.

I use a Dlink DSL-G604T Router.

I suggest a Linksys WAP54G. I have used one for two years without problems. I undrestand that the new ones even have a one button configuration, which I wish I would have had many times.

Whatever you buy make sure you enable "WEP" encryption on the link, so all the locals do not get free internet.

From home here I can see about 15 'points of access' and none of them have WEP enabled, so if I was not such nice chap, I could downlod from this access point and use them to browse the web (smile).
