I plan to switch from a wired network over to a partially wireless. I am considering using a D-Link DI-713P Wireless Cable/DSL Router w/3 Port Switch Plus Print Server and a DWL-120 USB Wireless Adapter. Has anyone used these components and did you run into any problems? The router is recommended at Practical Networks.

Conventional Wisdom* claims that the combination Orinoco Gold, SMC Wireless Router yield the best results in the Entry level category.

This link:

ORiNOCO PC Card - Gold.

There are no real big differences between the entry level Routers.

As can be seen in this link:

Wireless Routers Compared

The SMC Wireless Router has build in Printer Server interface.

When it comes to Wireless your mileage may varied, there are too many environmental variables that are unique to each individual setting.
