Hey ok situ :

Friend of mine is looking for some advice. She has recently got adsl broadband (Tiscali running on a BT line for all the uk people) and wants to set up wireless in her flat.

The actual distances it will need to cover are quite small as it will only be going between 2 rooms (living room, bedroom) and needs to pass through one normal thickness wall.

She has a budget of £100 and is looking for a decent wireless, adsl router and also either a wireless network card or USB key (more about this in a sec)

Its not for a business but really just for her PC and laptop so doesn't need anything to beefy. Just something with decent coverage that will match her needs and some security. Built in firewall would be a bonus but not essential as could set up software firewalls on machines connected to it.

The whole card / key thing is something else could do with some advice on. Was thinking about a USB wireless key as she could then swap it out between the laptop / PC or could place a card in PC and then network laptop to it as needed but this then means she loses portablity with laptop within flat.

Is there any big difference between the card / keys performance wise? And if so what is your recomendations.

Also if you know the router is def compatible with Tiscali that would be a bonus.
