Hi Susan: The top of the line wireless routers tend to have a wider range. It is not necessarily true though. I myself have a $7.00 wireless router and it works fine for the laptop around the house so I could not make a valid suggestion from experience... There is a new kid on the block called 'Eagle' and friends and acquaintances have been recommending them. These routers have directional antennas which they use for ferreting out remote open links and they are apparently very powerful.... up to a mile(?)

They seem to come in all varieties -- linksys is the most expensive and I'm wondering if they're worth it. What do you guys use?
