soon as I build my granddaughter's pc, I will be using it as a wireless (I live in an apartment and they do not like cables running all over the place) I will be writing this up as soon as I do.

I am not sure with the the linksys, but I have a SMC router (See review:Didn't Mommy Teach You to Share? http://www.epinions.com/content_25549049476)

and I had some minor questions and tech support is free...

I have a friend who has the same wireless router that you have and he has a wireless card on his laptop and told me how he still gets great speeds about 50 feet away by his swimming pool.

P.S. Great review by the way... And I thought I was starting my son too young at 2.5...
