Like any other wireless system, a wireless router gives you freedom to free the valuable workspace from the tangling wires. Technically speaking, a wireless router is a special network router that connects different workstations wirelessly and routes network traffic between workstations and an existing Internet connection.
Some of these routers are actually wired routers with wireless access points built in so you can have wired and/or wireless at the same time. Another choice is a router with a built-in DSL or cable modem. You can also consider a hardware & software security combo box to connect and protect your home network or office network. The wireless device is capable of sharing Internet connections amongst several computers via 802.3 Ethernet and 802.11b/g wireless data links.
These routers are quite popular among the network users. Moreover it is as good as using the wired networks with absolutely no compromise on the connectivity, speed, and security. A wireless LAN router generally adds a built-in access point function to a multi-port Ethernet router.
With this it combines multiple Ethernet networks with wireless connections as well. A typical wireless LAN router includes four Ethernet ports, an 802.11 access point, and sometimes a parallel port so it can function as a print server. This gives wireless users the same ability as wired users to send and receive packets over multiple networks.
There are many manufacturers of these wireless devices, popular of them are D-Link, Netgear, Actiontec etc. Out of these, the D-Link routers is what we find is the popular product amongst the home and commercial users. These routers have an uncanny ability that delivers superior performance capability to transfer large files and handle heavy network traffic.
Most of these routers offer many important benefits in the home and small office setting. For instance, you can opt to a cable modem service that provides a single IP address through DHCP to the router, and the router then provides IP addresses via DHCP to clients on your local network. This helps to a great deal whenever that client needs to access the Internet.
Routers are very much ideal for wireless networks in commercial or public areas, especially if there are multiple networks that are accessible. These routers if considered in an enterprise environment give network administrators an extra way to monitor and update their networks.
As these routers only send packets to specific, directed addresses, they do not forward the broadcast packets that are sent out by other devices. A big advantage of such routers is that they provide an added layer of security, both on the wired side and wireless side. The wired side is usually protected by a firewall and has extensive access control filters.
That is why, not only the wireless routers are more user friendly and space saving, they are also great on speed, and have an ability to handle multiple networks with ease and without sacrificing the security.

ADSL is "Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Loop" and works up to 18,500 cable feet (less than 3 miles as the crow flies) from the serving equipment. The speed falls of rather quickly the further away you get. DSL is offered on a 'best effort' basis, no speed guarantees, no up time guarantee. Putting DSL into an area is only economically viable if hundreds of people get on it. Asymmetrical means your send speed is a fraction of your receive speed.
T1 has a guaranteed uptime and guaranteed speed. It can use a repeatered line and reach several miles from the serving office with no loss of speed. Speed is equal both ways. It cost more to provide this service, hence the providers must charge more.
ADSL and T1 run on the existing copper that has been in place for decades. FIOS, T3, DS3 run on fiber, which costs a lot of money to run out to a neighborhood (many thousands of dollars per mile) thus requiring a lot of money in return to make it economically viable.
No one, including the Government, is going to lose money just to provide you with high speed service. Without a profit a company will soon be out of business. You have to pay more than the cost of providing the service.
As for providing wireless service to your neighbors. The radio signal strength falls off rapidly with distance. A typical WiFi is usable at most a few hundred feet. If your neighbors are more than a stone's throw awa you will need about $100 per customer for WiFi access points and high gain directional antennas.
Your best deal for High Speed Internet is to move to town.
Second best would be Satellite.
You want the country life, you get the country life.

That Wiki article is mostly correct. T1 spans could be powered with 260vdc (+/- 130v) and the DSX bay is a new-fangled thang that came in as I was going out.

To can check/determine whether there is built-in wireless on your Dell Latitude D600, you need to go to the Control Panel and open Network Connections and you will see WIRELESS NEWORK CONNECTION: It will show whether your Dell D600 has a WiFi card and if so then you can also click on it for repair, properties etc. Otherwise I recommend you go out and buy a USB WiFi device (N is the best) as they have most versatility and you will be able to take it along with you if you decide to sell or give the Dell D600 away.
Hope the Above Info Helps!

You will need to check with the ISP for the settings. All the possible protocol changes can be required by some. The terms used in the setup are described in the manual, idle timeout could mean the period it waits when you are not using it before it disconnects, which should be turned off totally.

Routers in my view are like most other thing's, you get what you pay for.
For instance I recently got a wireless usb dongle for my PC and there were two different types of belkin one's. One was £10 more expensive than the other yet it offered better speeds so as I spend alot of time gaming I chose the better one with more speed so that my network works at a optimal performance.
If you want a wireless router for just browsing the net and reading mails etc then a cheaper router should be fine however if you enjoy gaming, media streaming i.e. internet radio, youtube etc then I would suggest looking at the higher end model's.
Belkin routers seem to be very good. I have a Belkin usb dongle at home and my girlfriend has a belkin wireless router at her home and they both have been problem free, easy setup and network reliable.
Here is a low-end Belkin router in $
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=136493 – $39.99 usd
Here is higher-end Belkin (similar to gilfriends one) in $
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=203415 – $99.99 usd
If someone could confirm these two models being good for use as stated please do or even better come up with a better suggestin for the poster.

All the ipod, iphone, etc devices use G, and look like they may continue for some time. The PS3 may have a B/G or a B/G/N adapter and you don't state which you have. So any dual band router will be needed to have some G and some N devices on the same network. Otherwise a single band router will default to running on G only for all devices. If you are only going to use G devices the extra cost of a dual band router seems somewhat a waste.
The data sheet for the Wrt54G will vary some depending on the version number, however the sheet for the highest version from:
http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G/download
states that this model is a 10/100 so if you use it for a switch, all users for that part of the network will be limited to those speeds. If you need more ports I'd buy and install another switch. They are not expensive and rather trouble free as opposed to retro an old router.
