Need Wireless Router Recommendation

[Machinist]

Thanks for all the help guys. I picked up the WRT54GS and the WUSB54GS. Should have it hooked up saturday. Decided on the USB adapter for when I upgrade to a new pc.

I expect you will have noticable speed issues with the USB unit, but you will quickly get used to it... It is otherwise quite reliable.

Speed issues for the internet or file transfers?

Both... I have a USB hard drive. When I do file back ups to it, it is about 1/2 as fast as backing up to an internal IDE drive

It should not be that noticeable, since USB2 can transfer at a rate of 480Mbps and your wireless internet connection can only obtain 54Mbps.

Hard drive is a different story, because IDE is MUCH MUCH faster than USB.
