I'm buying a Netgear WGR614 802.11g router. I wondering what the best/cheapest method for networking would be at this point. I have 3 PC towers that I want to network and share an internet connection between. I already have 1 802.11b USB adapter, but I still need to figure out a way to hook up the other two. Netgear doesn't seem to make 802.11g PCI cards, so I was wondering if I should buy some 802.11g network adapters from Linksys. Or maybe just get some 802.11b USB adapters.

Any comments are appreciated.

I have 2 Linksys 802.11g PCI adapters and they run at only "B Mode" with the Netgear WGR614. Netgear needs to update their firmware so that the PCI adapters will run at "G" mode.

At this point I would not cross Brand 802.11g.

There is compatibility issue.

Buy the same Brand, or a Cheappo 802.11b, or wait.
