im helping a friend network his house and what would you recommend for home network, we'd prefer wireless but could run the wires if necessary.
we're not worried about security either.

pricing is a concern also.. splitting a broadband internet connection (satellite i believe) to 3 computers.
also need a router

any suggestions?

Athlon XP 1700+,KT266A,Geforce3, Audigy.. 'nuff said.

Using a good ol' wired network would save quite a bit of money. It'll also be faster.

id just go with the wires.... i have 7 computers hooked up to a hub and linksys BEFSR41 router and all commect and i have no problems. three computers and wireless might be a bit unnecessary.... especially if cost is a factor. my opinion.

....the birds seemed to be calling him, thought caw....
