Im thinking about getting my brother a wireless router for the impending release on online enables NDS games. I saw this deal for a Linksys one in today's Best Buy ad for only $4.99, after mail in rebates. its is 802.11B.

I believe this is a link to it: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1051384294158

Sounds too good to be true, so I wonder, what is better with ones that are 802.11G? Another little quesion, will I have to be constantly switching the ethernet cord from the router back to my computer when I want to play DS games and go back to going online on my PC? Also, will this affect my internet speed on my PC at all? I could of course go with one a little more expensive, would this one be any better?

It would only be 20 bucks after the rebates, so If it would actually be better Id of course be willing to spend more. So if someone could clear this up a bit for me, that would be great thanks.
