[MLB-WIRELESS] Advice on a wireless Internet gateway router

[Andrew Gibson]

Any WiFi card should be able to access the RG1000.

The Compaq cards are rebadged Lucent/WaveLan.

If they intend to use WEP then make sure that the RG & the wireless cards 
support the same level.

As far as cards go it is somewhat personal, although some cards do work 
better than others.
