Go buy a wireless router (for cable)!!!!!!!!!!!!

the reciever is 11mbps transfer rate,is that fast for wireless? whats the best router to suit card?

Chelsea m8, 11mBps is plenty fast enough for internet use. As for router, best bet is to stick to a well known brand, personally I'd recomend D-Link or Netgear & make sure which ever one you buy supports 802.11b (thats the older 11mbps spec for wireless)...

Have fun

Its not fast enough if you have a 10Mbs connection. With cable you normally get close to the theoretical maximum. With wireless connections its normal connection speed isanything from 50-70% of that printed on the box
