I've used both Netgear and D-Link stuff and I think they're both OK. Before you lash out on wireless networking components, try and make sure it'll work in your house. It didn't for me (distances, thick walls etc) and I ended up buying a load of Cat 5 cable (£25 for 300 metres) and a couple of wall-mounted RF45 sockets. Cheap, cheerful and as fast as you probably need for home use. Wiring up the "intranet" wasn't as scarey as I first thought, just make sure you connect the same colour wire to the same socket each end and Robert should be your uncle.

There are some good sites that tell you more about installing a home network - let me know if you want URLs, or do a search on Google or similar.
