![]() I am about to signup for Metronets Broadband service, I would like to set up a wireless network to access this and as far as I can see I need the following bits of equipment... A wireless network card for my laptop http://www.planetmicro.co.uk/product...ckcode=M000109 A wireless router/modem http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...=48452&_LOC=UK 2 Micro filters. http://www.pcnextday.co.uk/product_d...ef_site=kelkoo ....is this all I need and are the products that I have included links for suitable? Is there much difference between an expensive router/modem and cheap one? It says it has one port, does this mean I could also connect one other non wireless device? ie could I have the modem bit providing wireless access to the internet and plug my printer into the other to get wireless (from my laptop) printing? Thanks for any help David Bevan http://www.davidbevan.co.uk http://www.websphereusergroup.org.uk |

Yes, thats all you need and they all appear suitable - though you could just buy them all from the one supplier? Is there much difference between an expensive router/modem and cheap one? Functionallity, Support etc sometimes However, I believe the Ebuyer one is actually an Origo 8210 so you get reasonable support from http://www.adsltech.com/ It says it has one port, does this mean I could also connect one other non wireless device? ie could I have the modem bit providing wireless access to the internet and plug my printer into the other to get wireless (from my laptop) printing? Normally it means you can plug in a wired PC to the extra port. Not sure about a printer - try asking on the 8210's support forum at http://adsltech.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=3 Regards Sunil |
