Hello everyone,
Wow I haven't made a post here in a LONG time, although I do visit every single day. Anyways, finally I am going to be getting DSL, so I need some networking goods.
Anyways, my brother and I are going to be sharing the internet. His room is about 6-8m away through two doors. The router will be in his room (connected via a cable), so I need a PCMCIA card and Wireless Modem Router (the modem and router must be in one).
I have no idea what to go with, there are so many options. I'm from South Africa so I don't as many options as you Americans, all the popular brands such as Gigabyte, Asus, SMC, D-Link, Planet, Linksys, Netgear (not as much) are easily available. I just need something that is reliable and affordable!
Some options:
Netgear WG511GE (cant find the "GE" on Netgear?)
Gigabyte GN-WMKG
Gigabyte GN-WMAG
Gigabyte GN-WM01GT
Planet WL-3560
Planet WML-3565
Asus WL-100G (antenna)
SMC SMCWCBT-G
D-Link DWL-G630
D-Link DWL-G650
Billion BiPAC 7202GR2
Netgear DG834G (can probably get a free Wireless USB with this)
Planet ADW-4301
Planet ADW-4401
Will post some more options as I find them. The Planet stuff looks pretty cheap and good..

Bump. Nick?
-
cheap and reliable, Linksys WRT54G and WPC54G, I think thats the card model #
-
Uhm WRT54G has no built in modem?
-
oops...I need to read threads better. you aren't getting a modem with the DSL package?
-
That way it's going to cost too much. The WKPC54G is really expensive here. I'm pretty sure those above are my only options..

I have a built in Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card (54Mbps). So to have a wi-fi set up I just need a router? Correct? That's the small box with the antenna sticking out of it?
So many choices! Which Card and Router?
