hi...I am planning to setup a home network with 2 laptops and 1 desktop with printer scanner...i would like to access the sanner and printer from my laptops..Also access DSL internet... will buying an adsl modem + router (looking at Belkin Wireless g router, with 4 ethernet ports, ADSL2+ modem) solve this...
also what if i buy a wifi card for my pc... how many devices can this device support at a time...any recommendations on router + modem.
Thnx in advance

It can support 4 wired connections and all the wireless you would need. I suggest D-Link or TrendNet.

also what is wifi G+ MIMO (mentioned with belkin...like thers a good deal on it)...i have an HP laptop with 3945 b/g card....does this work???
*edited* What about the power of the signals...trendnet n d-link r real cheap... do they compromise on signal strength -
Yes, it will work with your laptop. I have a D-Link now. It provides 5-bars everywhere in my house. Before this I had a Trendnet, It provided 4-5 bars in my house. So, overall they have great proformance in range. But stuff can be cheap and still be good. Keep in mind, not all DLinks are cheap! My DIR-655 was plenty. Of course its N though. Trend net is cheap, but thier quality is good. They are technically TrendWare and are all over the world. Im not sure what G+ Mimo means. Maybe G+ means it will go slightly higher than G speeds (54 Mlbs)
-Ive never had a Belkin, but ive heard they are pretty decent. I still suggest D-Link over them though. -
The definition for MIMO

Belkin networking products (in my experience) are garbage. Don't waste the money on that one.

If you decide to go with Linksys 11g and not 11n, The only model Linksys makes now that is any good is the WRT54GL. The other models are problematic. Dlink and Netgear also make good hardware.
But to get max speed you need to match router and card MFG's.
I agree with the other Belkin is JUNK. -
Rite, thanx guys....i think i'l go with D-link dkt 710g...its pretty good as the site suggests plus it bundles a usb wifi g adapter for my desktop....thnx 2 all....
