I wanna... wireless router

meclive

Ive just managed to get my hands on a few Netgear WG111 54 Mbps Wireless USB Adapters, and so im looking to buy a wireless router so that i can share the internet access between 3 computers. What sort of price range am i looking at, and are there any offers currently on? recommendations etc... looking forward to your responses

Do you want the router to connect to ADSL or cable/ethernet? Make sure you get the right one

I've used Dlink and linksys quite a bit and have no problems with either. ebuyers own cheapies are half the price though.

Im on NTL cable so definatly dont wan't an ADSL one, any ideas on where might be the cheapest?

Not a techie, but I just bought th BT Voyager 2100 wireless ADSL networking kit, has 4 ethernet ports so you can add other devices. It had 2 filters and a desktop and a laptop card as well, all for £99.99 from PCW.....................someone recommended it from this site but I can't remember who. There's loads of advice on the Techie Questions & Discussion board!

I got a blekin wirless router (with a 4 port built in switch) for £49.99 from PC world.  this is easy to setup, just remember to password protect it !!

I have this connected to my NTL broadband thru the network connection and it works perfect !

What about this?

would this be ok?

it would be ok but you would only be running at 11mbs instead of 54 !! :P

This is ok for £50, if you are after 54mbs, I think this is one of the cheapest around...  ???

I have shortened your link , but as you will see , PC World's links always time out , so if you post the make and model number of the item , then a search can be done for it. hth , Sheel

Thanks, is there any discount codes for PCW other than the 5% discount DCBYAW ?

payneardo

I didnt even knowthe 5% discount one ;D

mind you I am a newbie


By the way if you are just after sharing the internet, the 11mbs should be Ok as I guess you dont have more than a 11mb internet feed. I

f you want to share files etc then best to go for 54MB. (remember all 3 machines will share the 54mb & not each connect at 54MB !!) - Also if you connecta machine which has an 11mbs wireless card in it - it will automatically switch to 11mb

Hope this helps ;D
