3 computers:
Main (desktop, where the router is plugged into the modem), XP
Second (desktop), XP - uses a USB adapter
Third (laptop), Vista - uses a network card I think (no USB adapter anyway)
Will be eventually connecting xbox live through this wirelessly, and a printer in the future too. Besides that, only function is for the internet connection.
Price limit for the router is under <$100, we don't do file sharing from computer to computer so as far as I know we don't need a super fast router, right.. so <$100 is a reasonable budget? Whatever router we get I'd like to have the same company of USB adapter, compatible with that router of course.
I'm completely new to all of this networking stuff, we were told we need a new router from our ISP. Ideally I'd like to learn how to set all of this stuff up myself instead of paying somebody else to do it. Comcast is ISP.
