Verizon gave my parents this Actiontec router with only WEP encryption, so what I did was turned off wireless on the Verizon router/modem and set up the old router as a dumb wireless access point with WPA2 encryption. The Verizon modem/router still handles DHCP and that way, the TV guides and other cable box features aren't screwed up. As far as good wireless cards - I'd trust what Jack recommended

Yes it is. I personally have five of them for all sorts of machines, even a LAN server. The Jack MDS does not screw around in his recommendations. You can leave that to your Garage recommendations 😀.

I have one of those, and it's pretty good. I would definitely recommend it.

I've got 2 of those and they're also recommended.

I bought one of these a while back. The antenna isn't as nice, but it's also a decent card.
