I'm heading to Best Buy tonight to pick up a Wireless Router for my sister. Range is definately more important than speed in this case. She won't do anything other than use it as an access to the internet. No home networking planned. I was thinking about the Linksys WRT-110 802.11G RangePlus Enhanced Wireless-MIMO Router. Price is definately a concern but I was thinking the MIMO technology might help get her better range. Her primary computer will be about 45 feet from the router but she is planning on getting a laptop so range is important. The website says it transfers data up to 135mbs but since it's only a G router I'm not sure how that is accomplished. I thought G only went to 54mb/s.
The other one I was looking at was the NETGEAR - RangeMax 802.11g WPN824. It says it's MIMO with rangemax and operates up to 108mb/s.
The last one I was lookin at at the store was the D-Link - Wireless-N Router DR-615 THe website shows $69.99 but I was at the store today and noticed it was marked at $49.99. I'm just not sure how the range would be compared to the others. It woudl be faster but like I said I don't really think that matters.
Also need to get a wireless adapter for the desktop. Should I go USB or PCI? Any recommendations from Best Buy?
