My organization does not allow any wireless access at all on the network for any reason. I want to be able to find any one trying to go wireless as a client or as an access point on my network. What products will help me do this?

I'm confused. You know when you have your website hosted by a hosting company, is this what they would use. So instead of having a company host my website could i buy one of these and host it myself, and also host other peoples websites?

Does this just connect up to your computer?

I have a small business office with several outlets for the single DSL line. One is connected to a small DSL modem that then connects to my AirPort Extreme station for wireless connections to Macs. Now I have a PC server that needs DSL access. I bought a second DSL modem and have a LinkSys router, but don't know how to configure them. Any help?

My linksys wrt54g has been dropping too much. I've tried every attempt to fix it.

I'm not looking for suggestions to fix what I have, but I want to know what routers are best for my MacBook with a built-in wireless-N card (either a very good G or very good N).

Thanks!

Hey all,
I was searching walmart for a wireless usb adapter. The belkin says on the box it has a 400ft range. After speaking to linksys support, the rep told me the range on their version is 20-30ft. That seems like a huge difference. In your experience, is this accurate? I would go for the belkin in a second if it picks up on signals THAT much better.

Here are the products:

linksys: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=2470735

belkin:
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3756936

Is there really THAT much difference? Thanks!
