    has your laptop an ethernet port ?

    Do wanadoodoo do do ethernet adsl routers ? ( I had to supply a MAC to see what packages they offer :rolleyes: :rotfl: )

    If yes to the 2 above - go the ethernet way .... USB was never meant for networking :rolleyes: Get wanadoodoo to swap em over - may be ask for MAC if you can change without penalties :beer: ....... and negiotiate for the new hardware - mention look at the BB artcle and quote these figures Push it and go for a freebie wireless ....
