Wireless what to do?

[bbradley]

I currently have a Dell running XP with a cable modem connection. I am going to buy a Macbook in the near future, probably when Leopard is released. Also I may buy a Wii when they are more readily available.

Now my question, I want to do the wireless thing with the mac and wii. I am not sure what to buy to do this. I would like to have my pc and mac networked together so I could share files. Do I buy a router? Would the router provide internet to the wii and mac and allow the mac to share/network with the pc. Would the router be in between the cable modem and pc or would the router be connected to the pc through another Ethernet cable? If this makes any sense please help.

Thanks

if you get a wireless router the macbook and wii will be able to use the internet

Any wireless(802.11g) router should work fine.

The router would connect to the modem by a ethernet cable, then it could connect to your other computer by ethernet cables or by wireless(depending what the machines support)

Ok one more question on this topic. I have been looking at linksys. Which one do you guys recommend? The only difference I can tell is the price.

LINKSYS WRT54G

LINKSYS WRT54GL

LINKSYS WRT54GC

LINKSYS WRT54GS

Or is there a different brand I should look at?
