Full 54G wireless setup for 1 pc and lappy for 77 quid!!

If your laptop has a built in wireless network card, which it should (check with the documentation that came with it) then you only need an Wireless ADSL modem router (providing there are no other PCs in the house you wish to connect).

LINKSYS WUSB54G 54MBPS WIRELESS-G USB NETWORK ADAPTER
Connect your USB-equipped desktop or notebook computer to a wireless network at incredible speeds with the Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter. By incorporating two new, blazing fast technologies -- USB 2.0 and Wireless-G -- the Adapter delivers data rates up to 54Mbps (5 times as fast as 802.11b), without the trouble of opening up the case of your desktop computer.

To install, simply plug the Adapter into any available USB port. (It's compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, but 2.0 will yield the fastest speeds.) It gets its power through the USB connection, so no power cord is necessary. The included Setup Wizard walks you through configuring the Adapter to your wireless network settings, step by step. The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter is also compatible with the Wireless-B (802.11b) network standard, with data rates up to 11Mbps. And your wireless communications can be protected by 128-bit encryption, so your data stays secure.

The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter's high-gain antenna lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the attic or cellar to get connected to the network. Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, use instant messaging to chat with friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and hard disk storage space with other computers on the network.

So don't hassle with running cables through your house -- get connected the easy way with the Wireless-G USB Network Adapter.

Please be aware that the router will only be suitable for people who use NTL broadband OR have an ADSL modem which has an ethernet connection, as this router does not have a built in ADSL modem. Good find though

I've got BT Broadband and use the Voyager 205 modem which has an Ethernet port. Would that be compatable?

The USB adaptor is 19.49 at play:
