All your computers are talking to each other; you can share the same Internet connection printers, scanners and more. Best of all, despite all the different versions of 802.11 wireless, Netgear’s products are backwards compatible, meaning if you have an old machine or existing wireless card they will still talk to each other, and you can set up your whole house for under $200. www.netgear.com.
