TW>-> I just got a new router - D-LInk DI-624. Four ports plus wireless.
TW>-> 2.4 GHz networking. Up to 54 Mbps with other D-Link Xtreme products.

TW>-> The beauty of it was in the installation. Flawless first time attempt.
TW>-> Far easier than my previous LinkSys router. One surprising thing is that
TW>-> it will handle straight thru of crossover cables!!! Automatically
TW>-> detects and sets up for either.Was $78.00 at Page Computers and I get a
TW>-> $25.00 rebate (hopefully). Mailed the papers today.

TW>-> One other thing. The wireless signal is considerably stronger than the
TW>-> wireless signal from my LinkSys Wap.

TW> Interesting Info to "Archive" in case some day I decided to enter the
TW>wireless field. I do have a Three computer wired system now. Two
TW>desktops and a laptop using a USN Network adapter. But everying is in
TW>the same room so it was the cheapest and easiest to setup and I went
TW>for it.

Exactly the reason I had a LinkSys router and a LinkSys WAP in the first
place. At first I just had the router and everything in one room as you
have. Then I was given a WAP, so I had the "icing on the cake". Now with
the D-Link it is like "gravy on taters".
