For a short time, I had a borrowed iBook acting as a base station for 802.11b and 2 floors below me in the laundry room of the dorm building I got a decent signal in my TiBook (that gets terrible reception). COnsidering the difference between dorm and apartment/house construction, I don't think you'd have any problem with that.

THis is a little off the main subject here but I was wondering what
experience folks had with 802.11g. Particularly, I'm interrested in
knowing about the range. I've read that the range is "up to" 300 feet.
Our cable modem is on the first floor and my pc is on the third floor of
our apartment. Now this is no where near 300 feet but there are of course
two floors and a couple of walls between my pc and where the router would
need to be. Anyone have any idea as to whether this will work. I hate to
spend money on the router and card and it not work.
Thanks,
Mike

So I need some advice on what's the latest, inexpensive home networking gear. I'm off to dig around BestBuy and CompUSA but if anyone has any experience with something I'd love to hear about it.
Jim, i'm amazed at how much prices of wireless gear has dropped in
price. I was in best buy yesterday and saw the linksys 802.11b router
was around $70 after rebate. I haven't looked at pcmcia wireless cards
since I'm all set on that front.
