Since there is no networking forum...

I'm setting up wireless network for my parents. They're getting cable modem next week and they have two computers and don't want to run wires. They don't own any Apple computers, but I have a Ti PowerBook. I believe I'm going to go with the Netgear MR314 wireless access point/router. My parents need a PCI card for one of their machines. D-Link seems to be the cheapest but I have heard horror stories about them. Does anyone have any recommendations? Price is somewhat of an issue, but don't let that prevent you from posting your recommendations.

why do you want to go wireless? It's been my experience that running cat5 isn't as bad as you would think, and much faster/more secure.
