I've got a BT Home Hub but neither my PC nor laptop are wireless-enabled, so I can't take full advantage of the Hub. What should I get for the PC and laptop so they can share the broadband? Anyone know any good deals?
Thanks for all suggestions.

presumably one can be used wired using an ethernet card, and the other one needs either a usb wireless adapter 802.11g, or if the laptop has a pcmcia slot, you could get a wireless pcmcia cardEver get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0

I got a Edimax one the other week. Seems a good adapter. Don't forget to use Quidco and get 3% cashback via Dabs.

I personally would recommend using A PCI Card for the PC and PCMCIA for the lap top if at all possible as I have always found them much more reliable and stable that USB.
However Some links
USB Adaptor £7.86
PCI Card £7.86
PCMCIA Card £7.86
All these are at http://www.aria.co.uk I bought one of the PCI Cards last week and had it up and running in Linux within seconds. if you are ordering stuff for delivery from there look at the SuperSpecial Deals bargins can be had for pennies and I mean pennies :jThe only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.
