Advice on wireless network setup?

[algae]

Hi all,
Soon I am building a new pc which will give me three pcs in my house....the one I'm using now, my notebook, and the new one I am going to build. I have a cable modem and currently my desktop and notebook are connected through a Dlink wired router.
I think I will start to build a wireless network at least for my two current pcs prior to building my new one. I've done a little reading at www.practicallynetworked.com but I'm wondering what hardware you guys would recommend in the way of hardware, etc.?
Tia for any info.

You need either a wireless access point (if you intend to continue using the DLink router). Or, degrade the router to a switch, and buy a new combined wireless router.

I would suggest you consider only 802.11g products. They are still new and all makes seem to have some problems of one kind or another, but they will get sorted in time with firmware upgrades. If you intend to continue with the Dlink as a router then I would look at Dlink wireless products - combinations of the same make tend to be easier to configure and support will be easier also. If you relegate the Dlink to a switch then you could consider any make of wireless router, SMC, Linksys, Netgear. Only consider AP/router products with detachable aeriels so you can increase signal strength later if needed.

I am using SMC products for 802.11g.
