Hi, my knights in shining armour.


I want to set up a wireless connection to my laptop, it is wireless ready. We also have a PC right nect to the phone line so don't need this to be wireless, just connected.

What is the best cheapest router for this, and do I need any additional bits and bobs. I tries looking in the shops myself but is me.

Like i say I just need lappy to be wireless and PC can be hooked up directly to the router.

Got 1mg BB and both comps running XP.

Thanks boys!!!

It may not be the cheapest available, but this is the router I use, recommended to me by Brother in Law who works for BT setting up wireless networks for their corporate customers (he has loads of different ones in to test). Had it a while now and is great.
This replaces your broadband modem, so all you need to check is that you have either an ethernet port on your pc or a wireless card fitted so you can connect it up.

Just had another look, looks like they've updated it slightly since I bought mine and it now has usb adapter as well.
