Hi all, in the market for a router and a network card for my pc.

What would you recommend?

The Linksys WRT54G is a favourite around these parts:)
Anything PCI card an aerial (And the facility to change the aerial) does the job..

why would you need to change the aerial..?

You probably will never need to - it just gives you options!

Prob due to the upgrade.

I'd go for a G type router and card as its the fastest available (54Mbps). A lil bit more expensive but you're future proofing.

I'd recommend the linksys WRT54G as router. As for wireless card if its a desktop PC then use this PCI card or this USB card. If its a laptop use this PC Card

Best prices for these are usually at elara.ie, microaid.ie or komplett.ie

Another vote for linksys, I have a WRT54GS and all the nics in server and desktops are Linksys Wireless-G PCI 54 Mbps 802.11g SpeedBoosters -

The speedbooster version of the router and the nics use afterburner technology so my connection speed on wireless lan is approx 112Mbps compared to 54Mbps
