Hi,
I'm new to all this internet stuff I'm afraid and need some help. I have just bought myself a laptop that can be used wirelessly. I have also signed up to 12 months with madasafish. I am now wishing that I went for the wireless package instead of the standard one.
Do you know if this is easy to change over and if I do change will I need to buy the wireless router from madasafish or will it still work if I buy one externally?
I reliase that they will charge more but I think it would be a benefit to me to go wireless.
Please advise me.

I guess the Modem that Madasafish supply uses a USB connection to PC/Laptop.
You will need to purchase a combined ADSL Wireless Router. An 11g model from Linksys or Belkin should be around £55.
Very easy to set up via Web browser interface, only a few settings required.
PM me if you want any help:D0
