Any A, B, or G wireless wi-fi adaptor will work (obvisouly only get a B or G as they are the fastest).

I have that router, and it works fine with my Apple powerbook airport wireless adaptor, and the belkin 7050 USB adaptor.

Basically the protocols they use (the language the devices use to talk to one another) are the same, so any devices within the same group, A, B, or G, will work with one another... That router can talk to any of those 3, but only buy a B or G adaptor though.

Pretty much any PCI wireless card that support 802.11b or 802.11g will work, however, for security purposes look for cards that also support WEP or WPA encryption (WPA is better) as this will allow you to secure your network.

or even these

The card you found a link to is fine for wireless and is full compatible with the router as it's the same manufacturer. Set up should be relatively easy but if you have any problems with it then you can always come back and ask or ask before you start.
Both the ebuyer links are the router and card that you asked about so yes both those items will be an ideal pairing for what you want.

thanks

i'll go with that linksys pci card
thanks
but its review was terrible because most of them were had a problem with it
why is that?

[Paul K]

Overall the PCI card and router both got very good ratings. The reviews go on for several pages and yes there were bad reviews on the first page but on the following pages there must have been a lot more good reviews for the overall rating to be so good.
You have to remember that
A. No two PCs behave in exactly the same way
B. Not everyone installs the hardware per the manual instructions. These people then complain that it didn't work when they could have caused the problem.
and
C. Sometimes hardware doesn't do exactly what it should.

thanks, today i have learned a lot

if i want to connect all in one printer wirelessly what do i have to do

is this router can access the printer wirelessly?
or do i need any other hardware?

[SMHarman]

Get a wireless print server. Though if it is an all in one (scanner / fax / printer) then the functionality may well be limited.

[jerenus]

thanks
i will try to get it
