RE: How to set up a home wireless network?
It's better to get a router IMO, because then you can have the router always on and you don't need to have the computer always on. Also, the router is dedicated to it's task, while the computer will be affected by it's CPU speed and NIC. I'd go for the router, and if you're worried about low signal strength go for one that supports 802.11g. 802.11b is a weaker signal because it operates at a lower frequency. 802.11g will give you a better connection and higher speed. (54mbps for g vs. 11mbps for b)
