If you asking if they are all compatible, then yes, they are. You can use a PC card from one manufacturer with a wireless router from another manufacturer.

You mean a Router + Switch + Wireless Access Point.

linksys BEFW11S4 is a good example of that and does what you ask.

First, yes, any will work together as long as they're 802.11b

As for a wired/wireless combo router, I have the D-Link 614+ and it works great.

OfficeDepot has the D-Link AirPlus? DI-614+ Wireless 2.4GHz Broadband Router for $25 after $30 rebates.

  1. Add the Router for $70.

  2. Apply coupon code 35179279 for $15 off $50.

  3. Send $10 rebate (copy) & $20 rebate.

Final price is $70 - $15 coupon - $30 rebates = $25 w/ free shipping.

damn, that sucked. i can't get that one for cheap. :(

What do you consider cheap?

Linksys Wireless Access Point 4-Port Cable/DSL Router 802.11b

Our Price: $69.99

Price After Rebate: $59.99

And it says FREE shipping? This over at buy.com - googlegear has it for $67.95, and newegg $80

I would think that a router, 4 port switch and WAP for $60-80 a very reasonable price??
