I've had all three! Running a Linksys router, D-Link WAP, Netgear Print
Server currently (problem with XP being that it uses NETBUEI and wont run
even when added to XP). For the most part they are all equal just check
warrantee and customer service to make your choice.

Yeah, if you have a desktop that you can easily get an Ethernet or coax to,
there's no need. It's great with our laptops, but even when we were going to
get a desktop for my wife's office (an upstairs bedroom), the room had no
phone wiring. Using a cordless phone and a wireless network would have
eliminated the hassle of running wiring to an upstairs bedroom.

Ooohhh, so you get to it over the internet. That makes sense. I'm just
waiting for a good sale. I'm not looking for wireless though.
