$109.95
I returned to college two years ago and I had tons of project due every week, plus I worked. Our house is small and you can hear the TV in our computer room so my husband and I were always having battles over volume control. My grandmother recommended this amazing headset. I purchased one and it saved my marriage and helped my get a 3.9 GPA. The clarity of this headset is amazing. They make you feel like you are in a theater. We loved this product so much I have purchase a set for my father and father-in-law. I most have if you have small children also.

Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router
$66.99
The router is basically working fine with my Thinkpad X60 (running XP) and fit PC2 (running Ubuntu).

The reason that I am going to give this product an 2 star review is that the tech support wasn't able to help me install the router and tried their best to take over my computer and charge me additional fee (I refused).

I tried to followed the instruction to install the router. Since there is a sticker on the ports of the router saying that you have to install the software first, I installed the software without connecting the router. It stuck at checking connection page and saying there's some problem with wireless adapter. After tried several things out and not able to get it working, I decided to call Sisco's "Award Winning Tech Support".

The first thing made me uncomfortable is they ask your name(full name), phone number and e-mail. I was not cautious enough so I give out my phone number but not e-mail address. They won't inform you providing those information are optional until you decide not to tell. I wonder those personal information has anything to do with installing the router.

Than the tech support kept asking me to spend around 9 dollar to have someone take over my computer and take a look at it. She kept saying that is the best way to resolve my problem.

I have been using "Log me in" to access my office computer at home and I know what it's like to have some one remote access your computer. They can do whatever they want, including lock up your screen, keyboard and mouse. Therefore I turned down her offer and ask if she able to advice via phone. She still insist on the "remote plan". I told her I rather try to install again by myself and end up the conversation.

After I tried to connect the router to the network while installing the software, everything works out fine. I am glad I didn't pay 9 dollar for doing this.

Thank you award winning tech support for wasting me 20 minutes!

(I am not complaining about individual tech support but whoever wrote their SOP)

Super G 802.11BG Wireless Pci 64 Bit Xp Compliant Turbo Mode
$22.99
What's more to say about a product that works? I ordered two for my tenants so they can use the wireless network instead of running ethernet cable all around the house. Both were older machines running Windows XP. Installation was a breeze and both computers were online on within 10 minutes. Modem/router located in a downstairs bedroom. Upstairs computer gets a strong signal and the downstairs computer gets a stronger signal with speeds that rival a computer hard lined to the router. If there was one thing I could change about this product, it would be the pigtail on the antennae. There's barely enough slack for the antennae to sit on top of the tower. Good product.
