Home Networking

Hi


I have just subscribed to home networking broadband package. I was told that I had to buy USB network adaptors for all my computers.

Do I need a usb net work adaptor for the main computer which the wireless router will be installed on?

At the moment on my dell pc I have a "Intel(r) pro/100 Ve network adaptor" is this any good for wireless connection.

I have a laptop with WIFI so that should run ok.

Thanks

No you can connect using the supplied Ethernet cable.

No that is where you connect the Ethernet cable, which is better than using USB. It is better to have at least one wired connection even if you want to use wireless on other PC's

Yes that should be fine to connect using wireless.

Thanks

Normally you don't need a wireless adaptor for your main PC. The router will connect to your modem via Ethernet cable and then to your PC via a second Ethernet cable into your Ethernet card.
