I am thinking about getting cable on my desktop computer and would like to network wirelessly with my lap top. I have talked to Dell, and my laptop has a wireless card and they told me I just need to buy a wireless router.

I looked at Tiger Direct on-line (I've bought some stuff from them before) and they have them anywhere from $30 to over a $100.

So what is the difference? Can I do just as well with a cheap one as an expensive one? Is there anything in particular in terms of specifications I need to look for?

I am not very techy but Dell said they are just "plug and play" type things.

Any advice would be appreciated. I really want to do this, but I need "simple and inexpensive."

Thanks!
