I'm upgrading my in-laws house from Intel Anypoint Network (good concept, lousy execution) to 802.11b network to take advantage of newly-acquired cable modem (thank God they upgraded from 56k). Basically single-story house with a loft, very little in the way of interference but they DO have a 2.4 g phone! (do I immediately start looking at 802.11a products?)
Q1: At a minimum - what are components required for desktop connected to cable modem, a remote desktop and a laptop? I assume wireless router (Linksys BEFSR41W) , PCMCIA card (Linksys WCF12) and wireless NIC card (Linksys WDT11/WMP11)?
Q2: Should I consider USB access point options? (eg Linksys WUSB11)
Q3: Can you recommend reliable companies other than Linksys for cheap products I can purchase on ebay?
