    Hey guys, from experience, or other, which wlan has the best bang for your buck.
    Also, I have seen/read about a couple of new ones which are smaller than ever........any comments or models that are solid units.

    I really enjoy the Netgear line, have two of them, no problems, and they support Super G. Support is Indian, but pretty good and fast.

    Until something really changes the best bang for the buck is whichever one shows up in the Sunday paper ads for $20. All the brands of 'G' wireless are about the same.

    First PC = Vic-20, 8" 128KB Home-Brew Floppy Drive ... Current Rig = eMachines m6805 ... Quantum Leap?
