    Hello,

    I'm going to bestbuy today to pickup a wireless router and a wireless network player as a gift for my parents.

    They love technology but are not very good at troubleshooting it. Their main use for it will be to look at photos on the living room TV from the PC that sits in the office.

    I'm going to buy D-Link DSM320 , since that is the only one I could find at the stores close to home. It has G connectivity, and I was wondering if a relatively cheap router will work, since they only need pictures, they will NOT stream videos or music.

    I am also wondering if I'm going for the right solution here, and if there is any other ways to accomplish this task.

    Open to suggestions, plz help.
