Somebody I know wants me to setup a network for him. He has two computers, one of them is in a shop and he has a cable running from the house to the shop so he can get internet on the computer in the shop. The cable is just lying on top of the ground and he wants to get rid of that.

Well, I will most likely have to buy the equipment for him because he doesn't know that much about computer stuff. I am probably going to buy Linksys products. For the router I think I am going to buy the one that has Wireless G with Speedbooster so he can share files faster. Also, how far will the Router send the signal? If anybody has any suggestions let me know, but I think I will stick with Linksys products since I have had pretty good luck with them.

Now for the adapter, I'm not sure what to get. The setup that I use is the WRT54GS router and Linksys Wireless G usb network adapter and it works fine for the most part. I was thinking of getting a network card so he wouldn't have to deal with wires. Do I have to get a certain card to use with that Router? What are good ones to get? Thanks for looking.
