Hello everyone,

My father's moving to a new office and he asked me to create a wireless network for about 4 or 5 pc's and a PowerBook.

Well, I haven't done any wifi networks until now but now as I look at it it isn't something difficult. However I still have some questions.

Firstly what router should I get? Linksys WRT54G? I'm still not sure about the type of internet connection they currently have which will be moved to the new office, probably tomorrow I'll have the info. I don't want anyone else using the network besides the 5 or 6 computers and I'm not sure about security settings, like MAC address restrictions, 128bit encryptions, firewall and such... The other thing is, as the office isn't small do I need 2 routers / router + access point(s)?

The next thing is the wireless adapters for the 4 pcs, as they don't have any. Any recommendations about a card? USB/PCI, model?

It would be great if you could give me a little help! ;)
