Hi
I am about to buy a wireless enabled laptop and have a desk top which is pluged into a Virgen/ well was NTL then modem-broadband.
Can any one recomend a good-cheap-simple to install system?
Am I right in thinking that I will need 2 x USB sticks 1 for PC( if I move it away from where it is now) and 1 for Laptop?
Thank you

Depends whether the laptop is wireless, and if you leave the PC near the router, then it can be used wired instead of wireless.
You'll need a cable/dsl router if you have cable phone.

I use a wireless Netgear Router and its really good. I tried others but the connection kept dropping!Wins: Feb - Sam and Amanda DVD, Nanny Series, £50 Mother Day Goodies box0
