    Help me choose a wireless access point

    I have the two computers listed below hooked up to broadband via a BT Voyager 240 DSL 4-port modem/router. I've just bought a cheap laptop which I intend to connect to the router wirelessly. So I need an access point. I'm now down to a shortlist of:

    * Netgear WG602
    * Dlink DWL-2000AP
    * Linksys WAP54G
    * Belkin F5D7130

    Can't make my mind up. There are mixed reviews for all of them so I'm looking for recommendations (or otherwise).

    Personally I'd go for the Buffalo gear - its proven to be more reliable on all the client sites we use w-lans ( which is as few as possible because I hate them )
