Question

I have seen reviews from both ends of the spectrum on the Intel product. Any comments? Just need to set up to computers as of now, maybe 4 total. All within 30 feet of eachother... and we can't run cable. Considering Phoneline Lan... or maybe this wireless thing. Thanks,
pete

It is just a matter of cost.

We'll say budget... the ~$100 cards. Radio waves.. I heard the Diamond kits were awful for internet. Mixed reviews on Intel.. (it will be to share a cable modem)

Still may go with phoneline though.

If wireless and cablemodem need 10MB speed which will probably more that $100/Pc
