[TriLUG] Xmas wireless question

[mike at dogstar1.com]

THis is a little off the main subject here but I was wondering what
experience folks had with 802.11g.  Particularly, I'm interrested in
knowing about the range.  I've read that the range is "up to" 300 feet. 
Our cable modem is on the first floor and my pc is on the third floor of
our apartment.  Now this is no where near 300 feet but there are of course
two floors and a couple of walls between my pc and where the router would
need to be.  Anyone have any idea as to whether this will work.  I hate to
spend money on the router and card and it not work.

Thanks,

Mike

Jim, i'm amazed at how much prices of wireless gear has dropped in 
price.  I was in best buy yesterday and saw the linksys 802.11b router 
was around $70 after rebate.  I haven't looked at pcmcia wireless cards 
since I'm all set on that front.
