just began to get interested in going wireless at home. currently have a linksys 802.11b card on my laptop (came w/ lappy when purchased). now i need to get the router.
been reading thru the forums and the various references. needless to say, my head is spinning so i thought i'd get suggestions based on what i need.
i have cable and not much need to xfer between pc's at more than what i can get from the 802.11b. the router would be placed upstairs near the center-front of a two story, 3000sq ft home. the farthest router-to-wireless card point in the house would be approx 35ft w/ 2-3 walls. would like to be able to have access outside around the house (only 1/4 acre).
based on what i'm reading here, there doesn't seem to be any overwhelming, can't-go-wrong router of choice. would i be safe going w/ either linksys or d-link? then i see some routers w/ 2 antenna and some w/ 1... any difference in performance/distance?
thanks for any replies... Deo
