my wireless connection will get the same speeds as wired
I agree. Every computer in my house is now wireless and I have NO issues at all. Actually I haven't had any issues with any house I've lived in. Now I live very near an Air Force Base(2 in fact) with planes flying all around, I also have a 2.4GHz cordless phone, And a cell phone tower VERY near my house, and my microwave is always running , and have yet to have any interference problems. I could be out in my garage with my laptop which is a good 50 feet or so from where my router is in my basement and have no connectivity issues. BUT, to each his own.


But to answer the initial question: my internal wireless in my laptop is an Intel Pro2200 and works fine. Also I have a Linksys WUSB11 USB adapter that installs without a hitch. In XP I have to load drivers for the USB adapter but under Vista it loads it automatically. Also, in my older Gateway laptop I use a Motorola PCMCIA wireless card that Vista loads drivers for automatically as well. Hope that helps.
