don't forget that wireless networks are subject to war drivers; make sure all your connected pc's (that is ALL pc's on your home network, wireless and not) are secured and patched before you pop a wireless lan in your house. seriously yo.

Hi, So is the AirPort one of the best wireless routers? What about access points? We only have one computer per room, so it would be kind of a waste of money to spend something like $100 per room on an access point, plus whatever the wireless NIC costs. Is there any way to do 802.11b without an access point, or are there cards that come with access points built in that actually work?
