    Hey at all.....

    i want to upgrade my Home wireless system......

    Here is my Setup:
    Dell XPS M1210 (mini PCI express Atheros AR5006EXS)
    eMachines M6805 (Mini PCI Broadcom dont know excatly which model)
    Linksys WRT54G Router
    HP Network Photoprinter (Wireless 54G)
    NSLU2 Etherlink ( 1x1TB Hard drive)

    everything runs fine just the lack of my Wireless speed to up/download larger files from and to the NSLU2 and the access over the Internet speed....lol

    I am sure i want to get a D-Link DIR-655 at least but i am not sure about the 825 yet.
    Also i was looking on Oxfordtec and i am not sure what card would perform better or the best.

    i was thinking for the Dell: GIGABYTE Aircruiser N300 GN-WS30N
    for the emachines: GigaByte AirCruiser N300 GN-WI30N-RH
    for both i would get a 3rd Antenna to get full use of "N"
    and like i said as far as Router i am sure the 655 unless someone tells me the 825 would be better....lol

    Ok what i mainly do on my Home network:
    I got large Files on there which i share between the NSLU2 and my Notebooks. Life streaming from my network Hard drive to either Laptop. I share the Printer. I got my Hard drive setup so i can access it over the Internet. So far i used WEP but would be going to WPA or higher if recommended. Sometimes i have Friends or Family staying at my place which they want to use there Laptops. Also i quiet often buy used Laptops and fix them up and sell them. So i usual have all the Drivers on my Harddrive too.

    Alli really need is an advice which card to get besides the one i listed above and basically a go get the 655 or try to get the 825 Router

    Hope someone can lead me in a Direction on this...


    Thanks for Reading and Relying
