IMHO, you will need a wireless router as well. Then your router/client will be able to talk to each other.

Hi Leonard,
If it works sporadically (you can sometime access to the internet) it means you configured it correctly (SSID, passphrase etc...). So the first think to do is to check the quality of the signal between your access point and your computer. Normally the computer Wireless adapter should have a tool to check this. There are many other reason why it may not run correctly but this is a start. Steel frame, or reinforced concret can easyly bloc k the signal (forget about the 100m this is marketing). 10 to 15 meters in a house is generally the max with standard equipement.

Hi Leonard, me again.
You need a router only if you share the Internet access. In this case the router dial the provider for you and you do not have to configure a dial-up adapter on your system but have to configure the computer communication protocol in a specific way(if I tell you, you it is preferable use DHCP for your IP configuration, I am not sure it helps ;o). If you do not want to share your Internet access, forget the router, it is more expensive and more difficult to configure. I have some knowledge about this stuff, any question welcome.
A small tips: If you have signal power problem between your PC and the wireless access point you can try to put the antennas in horizontal position, not vertical

Imcohen, what're you doing when when the dropouts occur? Is there a common denominator in terms of the applications you're using?
The reason I ask is that some Wireless NICs tend to drop out randomly but frequently on apps that send sustained, high bandwidth traffic over a wireless connection. In my case the offending apps were bit-torrent clients and Battlefield 2.
I believe a better quality NIC would've solved the issue in my case but as I was about to move OS I decided to just run UTP again.
