Im looking at buying a wireless router, and i stumbled across the D-Link DI-624 AirPlus Xtreme G router, which seems to suit my needs well.

My question is this; my laptop has an Internal Wireless 802.11a/b/g miniPCI Card installed, now do i need to buy anything else for my laptop for this router and wireless setup to work???
Im confused, cos some places talk about buying the D-Link DWL-G650 PCM card to go with the laptop as well, or are they assuming i dont have a wireless card installed already?

Any help is much appreciated!

Cheers, JC

Welcome to the PC Guide forums!!
The laptop should connect with the router fine, but you need to research what security features are available on each. WEP is better than nothing but very weak. You do have to secure the connection or you will become the neighborhood free wireless internet provider.
