I'm using the netgear "g draft" WAP (WG602) - it's working good. Not sure why you're getting poor performance with your current set-up, but both the b and "g draft" both run in the 2.4Ghz band. If your current problem is a matter of interference (yourself or a neighbor with a 2.4Ghz phone, or certain type of microwave oven?), you might experience the same problems with g as you are currently with b.
The other alternative would be to use 802.11a, which operates in the less busy 5Ghz band, but I don't have experience with this equipment, and I'm not sure if they make a tri-band 802.11b/g/a card yet. You'd be much more limited in where you could connect if you had just an 802.11a card, but if it's just for home use and you don't expect to be connecting from public access-points at cafe's or other offices, then it might be a good solution.
