I have never installed one before but im gonna help a co-worker buying and installing one tomorrow. He has cable connection and will use a Lappy and a Tower connected to the router.

A,B or G? Connection between them isnt THAT important.

Brand? Reviews?

TIA

How about Netgear? I have their FM114P and have found it to be a great piece of kit.

The store had a 3Com that had been demoed so i got 20% knocked off.

As a Pc card, i got the cheapest possible: http://www.cnet.com.tw/product/cnwlc811.html

All in all, i paid $100 and it took 20 minutes to setup, then i was in the garden drinking beer and surfing.
