I have two D-link 524 wireless routers at different residences. I use
them to connect to Dell laptops. I didn't get matching wireless cards.
One laptop has an Orinoco PCMCIA card, and the other two laptops have
built-in wireless cards (Broadcom/Intel2200 ?).
Good luck.

If signal strength is important, get a Linksys SRX wireless router and NIC.
They're not as cheap as the normal 802.11G router, or even the Linksys
"Speedbooster" routers, but they will give you the best performance because
of their multiple input / multiple output (MIMO) technology. Expect to pay
for this quality, and it's probably overkill for most people.

But if you just want a good value, and don't have any exceptional conditions
to deal with, Linksys or Netgear are your best bets. A friend in retail has
seen many people return their D-Link wireless routers, and replace them with
Linksys in the store he works in.

the drivers, shutdown
install cards, boot, enter the encryption code and you are up and running
for both 98se and xp.
I just tested them on my neighbors wireless router 100 feet away
signal is good and btw he gave me the encryption code. He is using a
LinksysG so looks like that is the way I am going.
Thanks again

I've used several of each at home and at work. They both work well. My
son swears by Belkin. He claims they have the best bang for the buck.
Take your pick.

After that stunt Belkin pulled a couple of years ago where their routers
came factory configured to intercept user HTTP requests every few hours and
redirect the requests to a Belkin web site to serve up a Belkin product ad,
I'm slightly amazed that anyone would even consider buying a Belkin router.
That their developers would even consider hijacking user connection
requests to deliver ads instead of the page/image/whatever the user
requested was appalling. To make matters worse, Belkin didn't seem to
understand why people thought it was a big deal, but agreed to remove the
"feature".
If you don't recall the incident,
"http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/35529" has part of the story and some
of the USENET articles at the time. Follow the "a lot of heat" link near
the top to see more.
