    Otherwise, I need some info from you before I recommend adapters. Are these laptops, or desktops? Give me brand and model numbers for each computer and I'll let you know what to get.

    No the main one has a huge doorway between the router and the computer so it won't work otherwise it would be wired. I don't know what they are they're cheap and old(er).

    EDIT: both desktops

    The main one is probably 3 years old the other is about 8 or so. Are you looking for processors and RAM ? I'll have to check on that at home.

    More concerned about motherboard architecture. For the 3 year old machine, I would want to find out if there was a free PCIe slot, the other I want to ensure it has USB 2.0 or a free PCI slot.

    oh yeah they both have a free pci slot and the older one is USB 2.0 (at least I'm pretty sure it is). The one upstairs has a pci card that I put in for the wireless G and the one in the den has a USB wireless adapter.

    Does the one upstairs have a PCI<b>e</b> slot. It's a faster bus than pci. In the picture below, the short slots are PCIe, and the long ones are PCI

    They have consistently had the best service in the 10 years I have shopped with them. I will occasionally go with Tiger Direct if they have a better deal, but New Egg beats any other site for computer parts 90% of the time.

    I don't think so, no.

    A couple of these should be sufficient if you don't go dual band (or even if you do) for both computers as long as you aren't hooking either up to a TV via HDMI.

    Beef, I'm confident in your ability to find a willing partner to conduct a trade of "products".
