At best (typically, anyway) a broadband connection runs at 3Mb/s, most
are in the 750kb/s to 1.5Mb/s so a 10Mb/s 802.11b connection, even
shared with several computers is more than adequate for file sharing,
gaming on line, Xbox, and all the current stuff. Any popular wireless
router will work just fine. Go for price, IMO.
