OK, I am looking to get a wireless router for my house and wireless cards for my wife and my laptops. Basic reason for doing this is so that when she and I both work from home that we can set up in different rooms and still access the network. I plan on keeping my desktop hard wired into the router. Only other thing is that both the 802.11b and g cards will work in our hot spots that exist at work as well.
As a result, I pose the question to you all, any thoughts on b vs. g? I know that g is faster, but other than that, I am not sure I see much of a difference. In addition, for what we would be using the network for, email transfer and typical work functions, I am not sure the speed is that significant an upgrade. That being said though, I am also concerned with the "reach" of one vs. the other....
Just looking for thoughts...any and all input appreciated.
