There was a big story on this the other day in USA Today or the like. It essentially said that some hacker guys set up unprotected networks in apartment buildings or near hotels and sucker people into using them, while then mining data that goes through the router.
Jerrod, I've had tremendous success with the Belkin N router and then a separate card with antenna plugged into the PC. See the link below. It isn't cheap but works extremely well and I have tremendous range. I think this might work in a rural setting with normal wood construction homes.

The Linksys product by Cisco is the best home consumer wireless / router imo. And it really isn't close.
But heck I am a Cisco guy. At least I am not recommending that you buy a Cisco 1250 LWWAP AP and controller.
