I'm looking to set up a wireless router in my house because I hate seeing these cords in the hallway and scared the dog will chew on them cause he loves to chew on anything.
The first setup I chose is Linksys because that is the kind of wired router I have now and haven't had any issues with it. The 3 pieces would be:
LINKSYS WRT54GL IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless-G Broadband Router - Retail
LINKSYS WMP54G IEEE 802.11b/g, PCI 2.2 and 2.3 32bit PCI2.2 Wireless-G Adapter Up to 54Mbps Data Rates WEP, WPA, CCX 2.0 (x2 cuz there are 2 cpu's)
That comes out to $139.97 total with shipping. I went with the ratings on those cause I have no idea what to buy.
The second setup I looked at I went with price in mind. This setup includes:
TP-LINK TL-WR642G IEEE 802.3/3u/3x, IEEE 802.11b/g G & eXtended Range 108Mbps Wireless Router - Retail
Rosewill RNX-G300LX IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Wireless Card Up to 54Mbps Data Rates 64/128-Bit WEP, 802.1x, WPA, WPA2, AES, TKIP with 2 dBi Antenna - Retail (x2 cuz there are 2 cpu's)
That setup comes to $70.19. This would help my wallet out much more as it's half the other setup, but would it be just as good? Are they even compatible?
I'd appreciate any and all feedback please! My computers would be about 25 feet away from the router also. I want to order this buy tonight, or tomorrow at latest. Thanks!
