wifi networking

[dzgizmo]

Hi,
can any one recommend a wireless network package? I am due to go broadband with NTL
I have a Sony vaio PCG -K115s which has integral LAN.
What else should I buy?
Thanks Darren

Whilst I am not with NTL, but rathger with BTi with the 2 meg ADSL broadband, I have a Netgear adsl router combined.
The main computer is connected to the router via a 100mbps cable to a network card in the computer and also running from the router again connected by ethernet cable is a Netgear Wireless access point which I then connect my laptops to either by built in wi fi or with a wifi card.
Just remeber to secure your system else eveyone will be able to use your connection!:smileygrin:

Just from my experience in Belgium.
ALWAYS choose cable internet before ADSL

Why?

[mvanwambeke]

why ?

- you get a fixed IP ( nice for running servers )
- it is faster ( download and especially upload)
- it is more reliable
And the price is the same than ADSL

And the price is the same than ADSL

Mmmh, I think not (in Germany)
Because you must pay the digital cable and the provider.

At the moment, I pay 14,99 for the ADSL connection and 9,90¿ for the provider monthly.

24,89EUR or ~16,62GBP

I pay £24 - but hopefully soon I will have 1Mbit
