Pics or STFU!
I only have two computers on my LAN so wireless was not really necessary. Did you also buy the wireless network cards? Those can run you back another CDN 80 a piece.

I just got the Linksys one. My laptop has the wireless b though. File transfer suck real bad getting 1mb per second max... 11Mbits according to the connection thingy on task bar. I encourage you to get the wireless G even though it is backward compatible with B. While good for internet, it sucks bad for file transfer and I think gaming too? Not sure as I have not had any lan parties on wireless.

Yeah, even the G has bad wireless transfer. The bigger the file, the longer it takes per MB. I don't know if there's power hack for Linksys B, but I heard G works great with the new hacked firmware (of course there are some that makes ur box turn into a brick too)

if you get wireless G on your laptop, you wont need more. Hacking firmware isnt adviced. Voids waranty and can bring serious trouble.

I would say use LAN line over wireless. Faster and safer. But you can't walk around unless you get a long cord.
