Anybody have any idea on the best/easiest wireless router
to add to my company network? What all do I need to buy?
How do I set it up? Any help would be very greatly
appreciated. Thank you!
 
For standard b/g wi-fi, the Linksys routers are very hard
to beat.

You of course absolutely must use (at least) 128-bit WEP
encryption. Other than that, the setup is simple.

I'd suggest that you use the router as a simple "access point"
-- that is, with nothing plugged in to the "WAN" port.
(In a turn of technology, access points now typically cost more
than full wi-fi routers).

Just configure an IP address for the LAN side of the router to
something available on your corporate LAN, configure the wi-fi
ssid and WEP, and you should be ready to go.
