      Netgear and Linksys are both good companies personally I use linksys just got comfortable with them. Really it’s just a gui interface difference. That router should be fine for whatever your trying to do.

      Linksys WUSB11 Wireless USB Network Adapter is NOT A ROUTER. This is what you plug into computers so that they can talk to the router, but since you just bought your laptop, it most likely has a wireless network adaptor anyway.

      You say you have cable not ADSL, so you need a DSL/Cable router. Netgears tend to be easier to use, but Linksys have more features. Any of these brands is good.

      I don’t know whether you’re from UK or another country or not, but I recommend somethin from this
      or this

      You can save some pennies on ebay if you are careful. Justdeals-uk have supplied me 2 Netgear cable routers that work just fine
      (The ones at £18.95 - my 2 that cmae looked newer in shiney white cases)

      I use the Linksys wireless-G router (model WRT54GS) as my wireless router and my laptop has a built in wireless receiver. the Adapter you are talking about is a ok one but remember the golden rule with electronics, you get what you pay for. I would go for one with a faster data transfer rate though

      linksys is definitely the way to go. Tried to set up one netgear device about two years ago after a good tech told me not to buy one. Ran into a dead end. Returned and bought a linksys, it set up right away.

      You get what you pay for.

      I would suggest you should go for linksys. I have a linksys WAG200G router and it sets up wonderfully well. But i have a netgear adapter WG511v2 in my laptop and since 3 days i have been receiving very low signal and frequent drop outs. I m myself not sure whats causing the problem
