I am in the process of buying a new laptop and I am wanting to do wireless internet. I am going to be getting rid of my desktop. I would greatly appreciate if I could get some suggestions on what would be best to go with for a beginner to get my wireless internet up and going and secured?
Thanks

Netgear is really user friendly. Easy to set up. This is the one I would recommend...as long as your card is 802.11G compatable.

That is guide on what router to buy. If you have any questions on them, ask here -
l'd suggest a dlink router. l have two of them; a wired and a 802.11G (forget model #'s) and neither of them have given me problems. l didn't have to install anything on my pc for them to work, it was simply plug the cables in and it's been fine.

Well might as well make it a trifecta....The LinkSys WRT54G is one of the easiest routers to use. I have set several of these up and have had no issues.

Linksys is very difficult to setup compared to others. I would go with netgear for a beginner

I have a CompUSA router. I had a friend help me set that one up, as well as the one at my parents' house., so I can't comment on ease of setup. They both work well, though. :::Shrugs:::

Well I have narrowed it down to two routers.
The Netgear WGR614 as many of you suggested.
And the Netgear WGR624.
The WGR624 seems like it may have a little better security? Is it worth the extra money? -
I'd go with the Netgear WGR624
Its an updated version of the WGR614, and it has a lot more security features, and not to mention its Super G ready (108Mbps as compared to 54Mbps)
But those speeds will only be seen with a netgear internal wireless card.
So in all, WGR624 is the way to go -
I meant the WGT624.
I was kind of off on my letters. -
What is everyones opinion of Belkin?

Id prefer Netgear over Belkin
Suggestions on routers for a beginner?
