Good man. Tabletop gaming is where the fun is.
I've bought into the Warmachine/Hordes wargame pretty hard. I'm terrible at it, but it's very enjoyable, incredibly deep and always evolving. I should've taken a photo of the mountain of minis, but they look much less interesting in their boxes. Assembling, preparing and painting these things takes a while, but it's all part of the fun.
Billion 7300RA is what I use, though I find there is better performance running it in bridge mode (essentially turning it into a modem only) and using a dedicated wireless router to do the rest of the work. Certainly not the cheapest way to do it, but I've only been disappointed by the performance offered by consumer grade modem/routers. This is mainly due to poor QoS implementation and may not be necessary for many.
The best off-the-shelf solution I found was the Billion 7300RA combined with the Linksys WRT54GL wireless router running Tomato firmware. This is more expensive than a combined solution and I'm not much use to you there. Someone else should be able to chime in with something more suitable, I just thought I'd note this as an option.
Looks like you've almost reached your goal too! Good on you, Gaz, I'm so excited for you!
I haven't pledged, but I have set the reminder so I can contribute later on.
