Wi-Fi solution?

Hi,

Using my new Inspiron 5100 for 2 days now.Works fine. I'm planning to
buy an W-Fi access point for my PC (CAT5) and laptop (mini pci
802.11b/g) wireless. What model or brand do you recomment for
networking/printer sharing/Internet broadband ADSL access?

I've used Belkin, NetGear, and LinkSys. I don't see any difference. Get
whatever you can get a good price on if it has the features you need.

Many like to get the same brand of equipment for networking. It just seems
to work better and there's no finger pointing at another brand if you would
ever have to get in touch with tech support.

Linksys, Netgear, or DLink on this end.

the only suggestion I will make is what ever you buy get matching
components.

So I have to buy a Dell wi-fi access point....
But I hope a lot of people here have a mini PCI wireless card in their
Inspiron and using another brand. A friend of mine adviced yo buy a good
brand, on a cheap onw like Sweex or Linksys. Drayteck Vigor and 3COM seems
to better a better choice. It has more and better ways to configure the
various settings of the internal router.
So I'm very interested in real life solutions with this Dell mini PCI card.
I'm using Windows XP.

I am using a Linksys WAP, a Linksys router and a US Robotics mini pci
card in my 5100 and it works perfectly. WAP is on the 3rd floor of
house and I have excellent connection all the way down to the basement
where my son has a room. Also the thing works great out in the barn
about 400' from the house...
