i have an old d-link router that has been giving me a lot of trouble and am in the market for a new one.  i have had trouble with dlink other products so i'm thinking of going linksys.  and one recomond a wireless router?  and big question, with a linksys router a dlink wireless nic in a different computer should still pick up the signal right?

If you are running a desktop network, I recommend that you use a wired network, it will be faster and more stable, as well as immune to wardriving and easier to set up. If you are running laptops with your network, get a combo router and wire your desktops, and equip your laptops and/or PDAs with wireless cards. Then lock down unused MAC addresses on the wireless channel and install encryption.

Linksys has been good on my wired network between 3 Windows tower boxes, we all get cable broadband effectively.
