Wireless USB Adapter. No, you don't have to buy LinkSys. Some people like to buy the same "brand" as their wireless access point (home router?) to ensure compatibility between the two devices. Since 802.11g is an established standard, I wouldn't worry about it. If your wireless access point offers 802.11n support and you want to connect using that standard; I'd recommend you buy the same "brand" USB adapter because that standard has not been "officially" accepted yet (and every manufacturer may implement the proposed standard(s) a little differently). I really can't comment on any specific "brand" of adapter. Best bet would be to search internet for user reviews and experiences with the product. Others on this forum may have some "product" opinions. 2.
