This weekend, I spent about 4 hours working at a client's site (side job) trying to get their desktop to link up to their existing wireless router (Netgear.) I never succeeded and I was also unable to get my Dell laptop to talk to their wireless router. After fussing with it for over 2 hours, I went to Walmart and bought a WRT54GS2 Linksys wireless (same exact model I have at home) and hooked it up. Instant success.
Long story short - if I ever have a job where I can't get the wireless to connect, and the user has a Netgear wireless router, I'm not even going to spend time on it, I'll just tell the client I'm going to go buy a different router that *will* work and get another Linksys. Just thought I'd pass this along for anyone who's looking for a new wireless router.
