HI all
I have a notebook with XP pro installed and a destop with xp home installed (that is how it came packaged). I want to buy a wireless router w/ built in switch and pc card for the laptop but I have heard bad things about wireless routers and2 different xp machines or just working with xp in general. Since I don't have any real way of personally testing this nor have anyone with a wireless router I wondered if anyone had experience with this and what models do you guys recommend ex. linksys, netgear, smc, etc.
I just need the wireless aspect of the router for the internet while using the built in switch or hub for lan file transfer.
