If your going to get a few network cards, go with D-Link. I've had Linksys
and their junk. I have a D-624 router (108mb/s) with the same network cards(thats smokin' fast). No problems.
If the Verison router is not wirless then you will have to buy a wireless router AND a wireless card. I use a linksys router and card, they work fine for me.
