Whats best router for 2 laptops and apple imac and what about dongles for one laptop?
Have looked at Netgear £99 @ JLP what dongles will be compatible cheap?
Is the netgear cheaper anywhere else?

I know it's PCWorld, but these have been very well reviewed recently, and are a good price:-

Might be worth trying Tesco Extra too, if you have one near you.

Bought the Netgear but am having troubles with installation there appears to be CD that acts as an instruction manual but not set up CD

Connect to the router via your ethernet cable
In explore go to 192.168.0.1
Enter via admin and the password is password
You can configure manuallya and you will need to tweak later in any case but for now got to the top line 'wizard' and follow the prompts.
Let us know how you get on.

read the links..

albertross is right, the links are excellent and well detailed. You should be able to follow them exactly and not even bother with the wizard.
Print them out before you start!
