Get one of the routers suggested by other folks as per your interest. I'm using Netgear and have found no problem with it.\n\nConnection will be like this\n>Modem --(RJ45 Cable)--->WiFi Router------>(RJ45 Cable)----> PC with LAN card\n>Laptop with WiFi LAN Card connects to router thru WiFi\n\n1.Get one Wifi router\n2.Change your modem IP to 192.168.0.1, If it is 192.168.1.1\n   (Because routers mostly have the same IP which will cause problem during automatic router config steps)\n3. Rest you can find in your router manual

1.  You need a wireless router that connects to your broadband modem.  This lets other devices (desktop and notebook computers, PDAs, music sharing devices, Tivo, etc.) connect to your network.\n\n2.  You need a wireless adapter that connects to the USB port on your computer.  This connects your computer to your network wirelessly.\n\nI've given you a link to Linksys products below.  I use them, my boss uses them and a lot of the engineers where I work use them.  They're our choice and we've had no problems.  However, Netgear and DLink are also fine choices.  You can use Yahoo or Google to search for those company web sites.\n\nSecuring your wireless network is easy.  The product documentation goes into detail on how to do this, but here are the things you need to do:\n\n1.  Change the name (SSID) of your router.\n2.  Turn off SSID broadcasting (don't let the router tell the world the new name).\n3.  Set up WPA security filtering.\n4.  Set up MAC address filtering to only accept your wireless devices (the adapter mentioned above).\n\nIt's amazing how many people don't do any of the above.  Not securing your network is an invitation to disaster.\n\nLastly, and this is important:  Write down the new name and the WPA filtering code and store them in a safe and secure place -- One you won't forget.  I have a friend that lost his and had to reset everything when he tried to add a new device (you may laugh, now).

look for 802.11g routers they are faster than 802.11b. look for one with long range it might be useful. Usually the more antennas the bigger the range.

There are couple of factors involved here.\n\nI do not know if you know in advance what type of wireless network you'll be connecting to or what type of wireless network you plan on creating, but this information is important.  The network maybe 802.11b network or 802.11g network (backward compatible with 802.11b) or mixture of the two.  Complicating the matter even more is the additional capabilities of the newer wifi models that support 802.11g (Turbo mode) promising speeds ~100+ megabits per second (vs. 54 mbps).  And there's also some models that use the MIMO antenna technology to increase speed and also coverage.\n\nIf these factors are unknown, you should try buy for compatibility.  My suggestion would be to buy a standard 802.11g card made by D-Link, Linksys, Netgear, or any of the other known brand names.  Any 802.11g Turbo speeds are based on proprietary technology and only work for the respective chipset.  \n\nIn my opinion, and I'm speaking as a soldier who spent time in Iraq running a wifi network, the problem is mainly of range and coverage.  It may be necessary to purchase a separate hi-gain antennae to cover the distance between the access point and the laptop.\n\nAs for a USB solution, I would not recommend a USB solution due to its size and it will be awkward sticking out of the laptop.  PC Card is the more elegant solution, UNLESS you need to use it for a desktop as well.\n\nIf you can provide more detail on what type of network this laptop will be added to then I can give you specific recommendations.

Linksys is good but try 2Wire home portal also... I recommend 2Wire. Check the link:\n\nhttp://www.2wire.com/?p=8

How far do you want to extend your network? Do you alrady have an established wired LAN? If this is a simple home network, you could get a new wireless router. The 250 Mbs wireless routers (~100 Mbs actual) are now shipping which is speed is comparable to a wired LAN, with the range of a Pre-N. \n\nIf you already have a wireless router, you may be able to swap out the antennas. Otherwise if you want an industrial solution, you could use a high gain antenna or even an amplifier http://www.hyperlinktech.com/\n\nNote: if you use a wireless extender/repeater, then your client-side thruput will be cut in half.\n\n-Vic

You need a Broadband Router. It will hook up with wires to one desktop and wirelessly with your laptop and other desktop. Your wireless desktop will need a PCI card adaptor and your laptop should already have one. You may need to configure your router, however. When you hook it up type in 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (thanks, madman)in your browser's address bar to set it up. \nThe best router is:\nLinksys Wireless-G Broadband Router\nModel #:WRT54G\nThe best PCI card is:\nLinksys Wireless-G PCI Card with Speed Booster\nModel #: WMP54GS\nYou can buy these at:\n\nhttp://www.BestBuy.com    \nhttp://www.CircuitCity.com    \nhttp://www.CompUSA.com  \nhttp://www.OfficeMax.com    \nhttp://www.RadioShack.com    \nhttp://www.Staples.com  \nhttp://www.officedepot.com  \n\nThe router is about $89.99 and the PCI card is about $59.99.

If you are needing a wireless router for home use I recommend the Linksys WRT54G.  You can get one at Wal-Mart for about $50.

I'm sure this is a question that will result in a lot of personal preferences.  Nonetheless, I'll give you mine.  The Linlsys WRT300N is the ultimate in wireless networking concerning speed and distance.  The Linksys WRT54GX4 is probably the best buy for the moment as it has great range and probably supports anything you already have.  My favorite however, is the Linksys WRV54G.  This is wireless, wired, and has VPN capabilities that allow you to log into your home network and shared drives over the internet from wherever you are.  Hope this helps a little.

Well as a rule we never use DLink products because they are notoriously cheap and breakdown far too often so I would stay away from replacing it with another DLink product.\n\nUsually I would go with a Linksys or Netgear but I also like this one below by Belkin which you can pickup for around $40 or so:\n\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/Belkin_54g_Wireless_Cable_DSL_Gateway_Router/4505-3319_7-20912424.html

Go to buy.com and you get a wireless card and a router for 150 to 200 buck. \n\nBuy it there and call your local Techie and see how much to install one if you do not know how.\n\nIt would not cost much to get installed.\n\nDB

Linksys is my favorite. They have A, B and G(54 MBPS) routers. The fastest technology and the ones with the longest range are the Pre-N routers (Netgear has a great one). It all depends on the size of your house. 2000 SQFT and under I would go with a G - linksys. Over 2000 SQFT I would do a Pre-N Netgear.\n\nGood luck
