Setting up wireless... game adapter? Wireless bridge?

[cr500_af]

Just looking for the best choice for my dollar, while remaining easy to set up. If it matters, I'm using a D-Link wireless router.

I understand that a bridge would give me more ethernet slots, but I don't need them.

Which is going to help me retain the hair I have left?

Thanks! Any sustantial difference from one to another? Or is it safe to shop purely on price?

search the forum for game adapter. Russ has a favorite, I don't remember which it is but he's posted it in the past 2 weeks I think. But there are others and from the posts some configure easier than others.

game adapters are kinda an unnecessary expensive..

get a cheap wireless home router (eg linksys WRT54xxx) and flash it with dd-wrt or tomato and put it in a receive/client mode instead of AP mode..

I got this one: http://amzn.com/B0024G48VA

It had a few connection issues at first, but after using its install program to configure it rather than WPS, I've not had any issues (Knock on wood)

Netgear WNCE2001 Universal WiFi Internet Adapter... about $60, readily available at Best Buy and some Wal-Marts. I have 2 on BD players; I haven't had a single problem with them.

Ironically, my adapter stopped having connection problems the same day that I stopped @ Wal-Mart and picked up a WNCE2001 to potentially replace the one that I had
