It depends on the card. The Dell Cards and routers see, to be far sub par in terms of how well they work. Personally, I use Netgear and Linksys equipment, and have had no problems whatsoever.

Matt,

Thanks for your reply and input. If we install wireless, my technician who installs for many clients, does not use Dell Routers and cards. So, I think it would work out just fine. He handles all our computer problems at our office, and is amazing what he can do.

Thanks Again!

Russ

I'll give a hardy second to what Matt posted.  I use nothing but Linksys, Netgear, and D-Link for my installations and have no problems.

Having spent a couple of weeks evaluating the Dell AP's vs our Cisco 1200s - I third the above comments.  The Dell specs read well, but the actual function is, well, disappointing at best.

I wireless worth it?  YES.  Be sure your installer helps you get familiar with the security they choose so you can add things to your network without sharing your bandwidth with the neighbors.

Recently purchased Inspiron 8600 with truemobile 1330 card. Set Linksys wireless router to Dimension 8100. Works like a charm and very easy to setup  You can do it yourself, I did.
