I'm thinking of throwing a usb wireless adaptor to connect to the router (3Com) for one of the computers at home because I really can't be bothered having the cable run around the room. (yes, the ultimate in lazyness!)

Anyone have any recommendations or stay away froms please ?

99% of the work done on the computer is web/emails anyway.

I have sold and installed several of these.. http://dlink.com.au/Products.aspx?Sec=2&Sub1=18&Sub2=82&PID=185 They are great, good speed and range out of them, plus it comes with a cradle so it will sit on your desk not in the back of your pc (can cause interference problems)
