I just got the D-Link DI-624 and the DWL-something, both the Xtreme G series. Excellent. They have a good package deal going at Buy.com and there is a $20 rebate on each item above that.

Installation was a snap as was configuration. My only complaint was it was so easy, I really didn't get a chance to figure it all out. But it works and works flawlessly.

Its even playing nicely with the NetGear print servers I have yet to replace.

And the speed is very fast. Very, very fast. I'd recommend this combo to anyone.

i was just wondering do all Wireless routers allow for both wireless and nonwireless connections? My roomates dont have wireless but i do...so would they still be able to use the router?

Hi there..
i just got a Microsoft MN-820 wireless note book kit...
it comes with a base station(router) which you can plug in 4 ethernet
cables and its wireless as well..
its the 802.11g kit..

my 8890 has the 802.11b inbuilt ubs card..but i wanted the 802.11g speed
and range..
i have never done networking before and it took me 15mins in total before i
was on the net with my 8890V..

Its very simple to set up...u just put the cd in and it will config your isp
of rur new kit.then it will ask you to put the cable from ya DSL moden to the
base station then put the cable from the base station to the DSL moden
plugin the power and your off....

Then put the same cd into ya laptop it will load the software for u and config
the net settings to go with the base station(which u have saved onto a floppy)
Put the card in ya slot..and thats it ...easy...

A majority of the major manufacturers include four built-in wired port connections via the router on most models. Simply consult the manufacturer's website for the specifications.

Unilaterally claiming "all" of any device type perform a specified function would be an exercise in inaccuracy.

I generally subscribe to the "all generalizations are bad" philosophy.
