Wireless set-up for laptop

Lally

Ive just got Broadband and would like a wireless connection. Was looking in Argos yesterday and they have a set for around £70/80

Are there any other good deals around?

PS Im also worried about this interfering with my DECT phone, and I was going to get a video sender so I can watch Sky in my spare room, same goes for that

Hi, the type of wireless router you choose may depend on the type of modem you have now. I used to have a Belkin Router, which works great with NTL (and, presumably other modems that have an ethernet connection). When I changed to ADSL the modem provided had NO extra ports, so nowhere to plug in a wireless router. So I changed to Linksys (sp?) as it is an all in one modem/router, so there fewer cables etc. Can't say I like it as much, but maybe that is just me.

I have cable free phones, and they work just fine.

But, as far as I know, the wireless Sky thingy's are not compatible with wireless BB coz they interfere with each other.

Hope this helps (BTW, I'm not a techie, this is just my experience )

Glad

we use the Netgear DG834GT see HERE at Amazonwe run the laptop and another pc upstairs from it
