How much does wireless networking cost today?

Wireless networking costs can vary depending on the kind of wireless network that one is looking to buy. There are four kinds: wireless-a, wireless-b, wireless-g, and wireless-n. With networking, the prices vary because of the range and the quality of the network. Wireless-a networks are generally the weakest, therefore the cheapest, and can cost up to $60. Wireless-b networks are stronger than wireless-a, while wireless-g networks are stronger than wireless-b. Wireless-n networks are the strongest, and the newest, and they commonly cost up to $160.
