I've got a WRT54G too. Very good router. £55.54 at Amazon.co.uk

And for the PCs:

e.g.

Linksys Wireless-G PCI card

or

Linksys Wireless-G USB adapter

or, for a notebook/laptop - Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter


Also, as MB said above, Dabs & Insight are good suppliers (& may be cheaper than Amazon). (btw, I'd avoid EBuyer).


Oh, & here's a very useful thread on wireless security - definitely a recommended read: /board/38/8435-secure-your-wireless-network.html
