My laptop has a "Dell Wireless 1505 Wireless-N Internal Card;" if I buy a router, can I get wireless in-home?

My Vostro 1500 has the Dell Wireless 1505 Wireless-N Internal Card. My current ISP is SBC Yahoo! DSL, which is very nice. It gets like 150kb/s, which is great.





If I buy this:

Can I be sitting in my frontroom with wireless internet? And if so, at the same speed? It says up to 1400ft distance, which is pretty neat.





Can I have it leading to my desktop and my laptop at the same time?





This seems too good to be true. Is it?





Also, with the 1400ft, could I share it with neighbors then?

The "N" standard of wireless also works with "G", so any router that says 802.11G or 802.11N would work. One really good site for deals on computer technology linked below. N has better performance vs. distance, but G is cheaper. G goes to about 300 feet max when nothing is between the laptop and router. Walls and furniture dramatically reduce this. So you may want to stick with the "N" series of routers.





As for sharing with your neighbor's, you can do this, but most likely violates the "Terms of Service" by your internet provider. While you most likely won't get busted, you'd still be liable for whatever your neighbor does on the internet from illegally downloading music to hosting child pornography, so I wouldn't do it if you don't trust your neighbor.

WOW...1400 feet...that's pretty far. I'm using the Linksys Wireless N series...cost about $100 from Best Buy. I LOVE it!!!! Any router you get, you SHOULD set it up with some sort of protection so other people can't steal your bandwidth too. Set it up WEP protected, that way, anyone that wants to use it will need a 10 digit key that you made up to use it. And rename it other than default and put a password on it and don't broadcast your SSID, that way other people can't search for it and find it to try to use it.
