Wireless Broadband for Student House

Steph_3-2 · 26 May 2006 at 6:52PM

Can anyone point me in the right direction to obtaining wireless broadband for a shared student house of 7. We all have individual wired broadband connections at present with ntl, and at £10 a month each we know it would be alot cheaper to combine our connections. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Steph

wireless router, then wireless network cards for each pc wishing to connect to the network.

simple:)

Yeh, easy enough, just make sure you protect the wireless network (and restrict by mac address) otherwise you'll find every student house within 200 yards is using the connection

Dabs.co.uk have good deals on wireless routers, probably looking at £30 ish.
