Great deal on notebook network adapter

I just landed a deal on a bunch of Lynksys USB & wireless network adapter for laptop. The two model I have are below. I can ship one for $30 (in retail box) if anyone interested.

ND...I'm a dumb as a rock on these things....I was going to rent one (a router, not an adapter) thru my cable company - the appt. is scheduled. Seems it would be more economical to purchase one outright...rental is 5 bucks a month....so the math means I'd pay for one outright in 10 months.

Truthfully ND...I don't know a thing about network adapter's. Any edumacation is appreciated! I'm sure there's others that don't know the value of what you're offering.

A wee little bit of edumacation...

Router is the thing that hooks you your internet and allows several computers to use it. Most routers these days are wireless... so you can hook a computer to it with a wire or with a wireless adapter.

An adapter is the thing that goes on or in a computer so it can talk to the router. I've used the ones that Andy is offering, they're good. Most new laptops have this built in but if you've got an older laptop Andy's gizmo will allow it to go wireless. I'd rather have a PCMCIA one for a laptop--size and shape of a credit card, slides into a slot... that way you don't have to mess with cables. The PCMCIA adapter would cost more.

By the way, Andys adapters work just find with a desktop too, if you want it in another room where the cable modem and router aren't.
