What Equipment Do I Need?????

Jazzycat

Hi,

I currently have madasafish broadband which is not the best value out there. The problem I have is that a phone wire needs to run to my pc from the phone socket, but this is not very convenient as my pc is a long way from the socket.

Is there an easy solution to my problem?
Would having the BT Hub be an answer? I think I just need to connect it to the phone line and then it works wirelessly to my pc?

Any advice would be very helpful - thank you.

just get a wireless router and a receiver - can be got fairly cheaply

Hi,

I have this modem at the moment

NETGEAR DG834G Wireless-G ADSL2+ Modem Router


Does that then means I can just plug this in the phone socket via ethernet cable and can then connect to internet by using a USB Wireless adapter (which I already have too) plugged into my pc?

Sorry to sound dumb on this.

The Netgear DG834G plugs into the phone socket using an RJ-11 cable. You can then connect the router to your PC using an Ethernet cable (wired) or by using a wireless adaptor in the PC (wireless) or a combination of these methods, depending on how many PC's/notebooks that you wish to connect to the router.

You're already using a wireless modem? Otherwise, why do you have a wireless adapter for?

If you already have a wireless adapter and not using any cables, just move the wireless modem next to your phone.
