Default would I be satisfied when playing games?

I have decided to buy this wireless router+ adapters for my computer...

Linksys , WRT54G (54Mbps) $50
+ 2x Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter $40 each = $80
Total= $130

to people who have already been using Linksys routers,,, do you have any trouble playing games? caused by any lag?

i am curious to know rather the wireless internet would cause lag or not...

since i am upgrading from my old router, i want to make sure i am getting a router that i will be happy with...

Actually my friend has the same one and when he plays he kinda of lags sometimes but not all the time. But it might just be his 1.5mbps connection.

This is a bad thing?

it shouldn't lag, but wireless has a problem of losing connection at times for about 20seconds while it tries to re-establish a connection. not good for online gaming which needs a constant and reliable connection
