I am trying to set up a home wireless network consisting of 3 home computers. This is the first time I am gonna do something like this, so what am asking is for advice on the devices I should get (which router, pci wireless card, ect). Can someone help me out please, am checking for quality and also good pricing. Thank you :approve:

Where abouts r u?
Australia? If so ... cworld.com.au (very good prices)
You really only need a router & some cabling, or for ur wireless u need cards for each (obviously!)
even on E-bay they have good rpices on routers ... but get a good 1!

In general you will want a brand name router like Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, SMC etc.. Stay away from El Cheapo (TM) stuff like Zyxel, Benq, Canyon etc. In an ideal world you will also get the wireless adapters from the same maker.
If you are not sure which ones are a good buy then narrow down your choices to a couple of models and ask here.

A wireless router will let you share your internet connection between several computers because of its router functionality. A wireless access point just extends your wired network.
If you already have a router sharing your internet connection then you can save some money and keep things simple by getting an access point. Otherwise it is the router you want.
