[dba-Tech] routers

Not necessarily... I've got a Cisco adaptor in my work laptop, and it
seems to be able to pick up just about anything. Except in the hotel
last night...

On the other hand, I've found that the easiest routers to set up are
Netgear ones, I've got a DG834PN (with the blue flashy LEDs on it), and
it was just a case of uploading the setup file from my old DG834G onto
it, and it worked. I've used Linksys and Belkin, and found them to
either not work at all (Belkin) or be so difficult to work out (Linksys)
that I gave up.

You are going to be connecting Desktop systems or Laptops?  Do these
systems have wireless adapters already?  The laptops might or might not
and the desktops most certainly do not and will need one of those.

========Both, and yes, we know they'll need adaptors. 

  With those you might want to match the brand of wireless adapter that
goes on the PC to the brand of wireless router so they are talking the
same variation. For example in my situation with the Linksys 54G with
Speed booster I would want to use the wireless adapter from Linksys that
also has the speedbooster tag.  I think that would be more important
than matching the router to the modem. In my opinion.

========Thank you. :)
