Glad someone reminded him about adding wireless to the desktops. So many times that is forgotten.

If your comfortable using wireless - then your pretty set with the couple of options out there. Biggest thing is proper access point placement so you get coverage wherever you need it.

Just to make sure (and because I tend to distrust wireless as most people never set it up right) - have they considered the security issues doing this creates? I ask because so many people never think on it - then wonder why they have strange IP's using their WAP (neighbors like it too), or why their personal data suddenly got stolen, etc.

If they go wireless - make sure its secured. Still - they are safer with wires.
