Can someone recommend a wireless router for me and if a pci card areciver or a usb adapter is a better choice. I Just would like to use a laptop remotely in the house fro my maim pc. TIA

Linksys WRT310N is my recommendation. Combined with a matching Linksys wireless N adapter. USB and PCI offer similar performance.

Linksys WRT310N is my recommendation.

It better be a LOT nicer than my WRT160N v3 because that thing sucks quite badly in every aspect: poor signal strength, lack of available options -- even basic ones, very slow interface speed and the constant rebooting for any small change, no rp-sma connectors to replace the dinky built-in antennas, nightmare to setup (just wouldn't work), poor stability -- goes offline sometimes and you have to login using the wired interface to restart it (stops being seen by any wireless device out of the blue), takes FOREVER to get an IP from it (10-15 seconds is quite common), ... And yes, that's with the latest firmware too. It's a HUGE step down from a plain old WRT54GL. No 3rd party firmwares support it either...

I've replaced it (and previous WRT54GL's) by some ASUS WL-520GU's running a custom version of tomato. Couldn't be happier.
