linksys is a well known brand. im using adaptec. :rick:
wireless or no?
pro: (imo)
-no cables to run if you live in a house with 2 stories
con:
-more expensive since you will have to buy the USB adapters while chances are you already have NIC cards
-speeds, you get a fast constant speed with wires. whereas with wireless, depending on the location of the computer and router, speeds can vary...sometimes drastically.
-maybe minute security issues
thats all i can think of. :dunno: i have a wireless router that can also take in cat5 wire. so you can grab one of those and try out the wireless connection, and if you dont like...grab a cat5 cable.
