I clicked on that thread to find out what a wifi is.
No explanation here, maybe it´s a word of the middle-ages?

If your card's an 802.11b, it should work.

No need to waste your time with 802.11a, it's an old standard now. The only benefit to it is that it is on the 5.0 Ghz frequency which is a less crowded one that the 2.4 frequency that 802.11b and g are on. Obviously 802.11g is better since it handles speeds up to 54 Mbps as opposed to 802.11b which handles up to 11 Mbps (plenty for broadband sharing though). 802.11g adapters and equipment are a little more expensive too though.
By the way, most 802.11g wireless routers are backwards compatible for 802.11b.

That's not true...................802.11g and 802.11a are not interoperable. G is on the 2.4 Ghz frequency, A is on the 5.0 Ghz frequency.
Some companies sell wireless routers and support both. But the two are not interoperable with each other..................G and B yes...........G and A, no
Good document from Linksys's website for WiFi information
Thanks for the input guys....
I will check on the cordless phones this evening, as I type this I know we have 2 functioning, had 3 but my daughter used one for a boat in the bathtub.
What about wall thickness?
I have 3 story old victorian house and its all brick. I have 1 notebook and two desktops.
I'm thinking about the Buffalo Air Station. Just so I can say I have a buffalo in my house.

I have my wireless router on the 2nd floor of my house and I can get full signal 2 floors down my basement.
I just hooked up my cousins in the basement of his house and went two floors up and only received "Good" signal strength.
So do one of two things, either put the wireless router in the middle floor so the distance for the signal travel will be less (1 floor shouldn't be a big problem, or if that doesn't work get one of these
