Milt, take your router back and get a Belkin Wireless G or Pre-N if the computers are fairly far apart from your internet source.

In the span of say 5-10 minutes (really) I've set up 2 Mac Powerbooks, 2 old Dell towers with Belkin USB wireless adapters, a Mac tower with adapter, 2 wireless PC notebooks, 2 more old Dell towers wired to a Belkin Wireless G router configured as an access point and a Belkin wireless print server on an HP laser printer.

Everything was plug and play. Amazing!!

prior to this, I spent 5, yes 5 total hours on the phone with Linksys (India and very hard to understand) trying to get their components to work and they NEVER did.

I chose Linsys since they were picked up by Cisco, the undisputed leader in networking, although Jupiter is doing a lot to catch up.

Anyway, good advice here, but for a hardware recommendation that really works, go with Belkin.
