Lets start by asking what is it that you want to do?

a) Connect to the internet at home wirelessly to a home access point
b) Sit in a hotspot such as McDonalds/Hotel/Starbucks and use an access
point there
c) Hijack your neighbours wireless signal
d) Connect to the wireless LAN at your place of work?
e) All of the above
f) None of the above

Most people just get a wireless NAT router one of the *G* versions using
WPA, which is the lastest in wireless encryption, one gets a wireless card
or cards for the computers and one learns to secure his or her wireless
situation.

The link has some helpful information about wireless.

This is a link about securing your home situation that most wireless users
are not aware of from the start.
