Ok, I have been sitting on this for about 2 weeks and it is about time I asked it.

I got an email from tigerdirect.com that is selling a Siemens - SpeedStream SS2604 - 4-port
Cable/DSL Router with Built-in Print Server. It is wireless and they are selling it for $20. It
sounds too good to be true but it is true. I have a few questions.

1: when I look at the standards it says that it is 802.3 and 802.3u. I was told that this is the
new standard. What happend to 802.11a,b,g?

2: now it router has 4 ports on the back, does this mean that I can only have 4 computers using
the router, or can I have 4 computers with 4 wireless computers on this router. How many can I
have and at with what combination?

3: If I buy this router, do I have to buy siemens wireless card in order to have wireless acess?

4: Is this a good router to have, or should I get a d-link or linksys router?

William
