I just bought a notebook with wireless. What is the best  
thing to add to my MN-100 to also allow my laptop to  
connect wireless.

You can't, Mike  The device doesn't work like that.  You'd need an MN-500 or  
MN-700 router/base station, depending on whether your laptop is a B or G  
device.

Thats kind of what I was thinking. Mix and match tends to  
lead to some level of confusion anyways.
Thanks I'll take a look at the 500/700. I have both b and  
g on two systems so g will capture both if I am not  
mistaken.
Thanks again,
mk

You can go two ways with adding the MN-700 in:  (1)  Use the MN-700 as the  
base station, with the MN-500 as an access point only for your b devices  
(I've done that), or (2) go the other way.  Of course when you're using the  
two base stations, one needs to be in access mode only.  MVP Barb Bowman has  
a really nice Expert Zone column on this type of setup:
