I finally picked up an 802.11G router, a D-Link 524, to be specific. My price point had been about $35, and I picked it up at CompUSA for $35 after rebates. I got the thing upgraded, installed, and so far, so good. It's got some cool features for to make the configuration of virtual servers and all sorts of new types of encryption.

I've applied Windows XP Service Pack 2 on all three of my computers with no problems so far. The noticable stuff includes: Pop-up Blocking in Internet Explorer, New Wireless Networking interface and a single interface to tell you the status of your system in terms of updates, firewall state and anti-virus.
