Internet adaptor help?

Kimberley

I've ordered the BT home Hub for wireless connection. What i want to know is what adaptors do i need for my PC's. I want one for a Laptop and one for a Desktop PC.

The Hub will be in my front room with the computer upstairs and the Laptop downstairs.

You'll need wireless adapters conforming to 802.11b (11Mbps) or 802.11g (54Mbps) standards.

For PC - PCI wireless adapter that fits inside the PC in spare PCI slot - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/search/?strSearch=&intCatID=39&bolShowAll=true&intSubcatUID=1019
or USB wireless adapter that fits in spare USB slot - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/search/?strSearch=&intCatID=39&bolShowAll=true&intSubcatUID=1020

For laptop - USB wireless adapter or wireless PCMCIA/PC Card/Cardbus - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/search/?strSearch=&intCatID=39&bolShowAll=true&intSubcatUID=480

A lot of peeps will disagree with me but I'd suggest just getting USB ones, for laptop or PC. The Belkin ones come with a USB extension cable should you want to improve signal plus you can share with other computers easily ... or lend to someone requiring a wireless device etc.

See here.

The BT Hub has two Ethernet (network) sockets so you can connect devices using wires. If your PC is next your Hub, or your Hub can be located next to your PC then you will probably be able to connect using a network cable, instead of wireless. Most modern computers come with networking connections.

Thank you all, the Ebuyer looks the cheapest.
