Any linksys wireless router with 802.11g standard will be fine.
(802.11g - fastest maximum speed; supports more simulatenous users; signal
range is best and is not easily obstructed ).
And for the wireless card for your PC you need to check with the
compatability of the router.
for reviews about the linksys wireless router and the compatabile Wireless
PC cards check the link below

if you connect your computer direclty to the router(means via ethernet
cable) then you dont need any wireless card.
if you want to have a wireless connection then you need to buy a compatible
wireless card for your wireless router. |
