What other manufacturers for windows card do you suggest, what's the easiest to set up???
ok so from this thread, i decided to go with either belkin or dlink. but when i got to my nearest electronic shop(futureshop in toronto), they didn't have neither, and the employee recommended linksys' wireless-g. he guaranteed that i should be able to set it up with my mac. and the fact that they have 15-day return policy doesn't hurt either. so i took it, for 215cdn. and after an hour of fiddling around and a call to technical support, i'm up and running! the range is good and so far i got good download speed up to 130kb/s. i can move anywhere in the house and still have range and my bro's ancient beige g3 is hooked up to internet(wired) as well. i didn't know i could do this, have both wireless and wired clients hooked up to the same router, what a pleasant surprise! now i don't have to buy an ibook for him so that he can use the internet. sucker! haha thanks all for the awesome advices!

What's so surprising about that?
The whole point of a router is to connect individual networks with each other...
