Why is everyone focused on access points? Most of these cards come with
software that will turn any PC into an access point for much cheaper. If
you are looking for cheap, don't worry about wi-fi - just get cards from
the same company. I have 3 webgear 802.11 cards - slower, older, company
out of business - but the entire setup cost me $150.
My home desktop, my wife's laptop (for her business) and my Lib are all
very happily wireless networking.
