I've got 802.11b linksys and I love it. Never had any problems with it. Well actually once I did, I was picking up my neighbor's signal and my adapter decided to drop my signal while opting for their's, but I soon fixed that.

so moving on to routers, routers allows connections to a different network segment. so if you want to connect network A with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx address with network B with yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy address you would need a router.

802.11b is very reliable. as for security, you can enable WEP and mac address filtering which will keep most people out.

anywho, i've decided to pass on the offer. i've found that for a little more $$, i can find 802.11g equipment, brand new. for example, a 802.11g netgear router for about $45, after rebate.
thanks everyone for all the help!
