They're all pretty much the same. They're all using some proprietary compression to boost the speeds of standard wireless protocols.

Whichever one you buy, you'll have to get the Wireless NIC's from the same vendor if you want to take advantage ot their speed boosts, otherwise you'll be using standard 802.11g speeds

As jlanka says they are all pretty much the same. I personally would go for the linksys only because I have never had a linksys device fail on me. I have had and seen many dlink and netgear devices fail.

I ordered the D-Link 624 from Newegg. After $25 Rebate - it's like $53.00. Several people have recommended it ... and it got C|Net's Editors Choice award last year, for what that's worth.

Essentially, I just took the advice of some networking pros ...
