Wirless Broadband Through Ntl ?

Options
HI,

I have brought a DELL laptop with built in wifi and I already have a DLINK router ( di624) and NTL broadband through the modem. WIll the dell pick the DLink up or will it have to be a case of buying one which will support both. If so what is the cheapest router around to do the job... Thanks
Steven

    If you mean this: http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=6

    Does it say that it is a Broadband Rotuer or an ADSL router? If it is an ADSL router, it won't work with NTL broadband.

    IF it is a broadband rotuer, then yes you shouldnt problems gettign your dell to pick up the wireless connection.

    The dell should pick up the signal from the dlink

    On the dell, left click on start, scroll up to settings then sideways to crontrol panel, and click on that, find wireless network settup and click on that, and follow the instructions, you shoul connect ok.
