You should be able to just use this:
NETGEAR WG111 Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter (54 Mbps)
For $13 and be done with it. It should work with a router and thats what I'll get.

Great thanks for all the news. I picked up a Netgear universal wireless internet adapter (WNCE2001) for about $60 and it works like a charm. Very small. It can be powered from the USB port, but from what I can tell, it needs to be powered up in advance of turning on the gemini, so it's powered from AC for the moment.
It doesn't appear the USB port is working beyond just providing power. Anyone try plugging in their computer via USB?
cheers

I am seriously considering using only the DAP1522 into my Gemini 2 for
communications. with it and the Power supply being on the same circuit,
should seriously help eliminate ground loops. I will be using the ASCOM
Gemini.net driver, and using serial pulse guiding, so the only
connections into the Gemini would be power, The motor cable, hand
controller, and of course the Ethernet from the DAP1522. I will mount
the DAP1522 directly below the Gemini 2.
I was going to have to run about 20 foot Ethernet cables before. These
is going to be great. By the way I am using the maximum encryption
that these devices offers, and really don't see and speed decrease.

Well I got it configured. With the Gemini 2 into it, I can connected
using DHCP over it. I can get the loggin with either 192.168.0.123 or
httpp//gemini
Even my Android still works on the wireless network and is able to
access the Gemini.
This really cuts down on allot of the wiring I have to do.
One work of caution about Bridges. The first bridges I purchased was
not compatible with my D-Link routers. It seems that bridges can be
brand and model specific on which wireless routes they will work with.
I takes a little work, but I do have my DIR-655 and Dir825 working
with the DAP1522 (all D-link)

Hi Brian
What you would need is what is called a Access/Bridge. I use a
D-link DAP-1522, because it can be configured in either mode.
I does not an external ant, but does have 4 points to connect devices
into. I has a switch that lets you select access point/Auto and
Bridge. You want to use it as a bridge. I don't really recommend
it, as sometimes it is a bear to configure.

Thanks Paul - do you (or anyone else) have a recommendation on a
wireless adapter?

Wired Ethernet and wireless wi-fi can all be used with G2 (with
optional wireless adapters).
TheSky will work over serial or USB, and will also work over
Ethernet/wi-fi if you use the TeleAPI plugin to connect using
Gemini.net ASCOM driver.

Aside from the interesting look web interface, I'm curious how
Gemini II is conceived to be controlled by a planetarium program
like theSky? Is the idea we connect via USB? I really like the idea
of ethernet and a web server, but I'm not sure how useful that is
going to be, particularly if it has to be a wired connection with a
router. Well, maybe that's great for installations, but for portable
mounts the application/value is less clear to me.
