im connecting my computer to my sisters computer, and my sis doesnt play games, and she rarly downloads anything, maybe just music, but most of the tyme she'll be a msn or some counter strike. i was thinkin bout this router:

is that a good idea? if it is, can u guys please post a adapter that is compatible with that router, and if that thing is not necessary, please post another good router + adapter, the price range can be either the same as the router i listed at the top or cheaper. thanks.

right now I have a belkin router and a novatech adapter... I get about 97% signal strength even though my computer is 2 stories above my router. If u want the specifics, I'll post it.

theres 2 type of adapter and router, g router, g adapter and b router and b adapter.. ( based on my knowledge ) my router is a g type and my adapter can get g and b signals.. so yeah =] here i am online using an adapter which can get both g and b =)
