Hi.
I've purchased an ADSL modem/router as we have just bought a laptop and want internet access on it.
Is it correct that our desktop PC will remain 'wired' via the new router? (which I would prefer).
If so, does this mean I DON'T need wireless card in the PC?
thanks in advance for any replys.

If that's the way you want it, then yes it will. Quote:

You're right, you don't.

Thanks for the reply. All up and running with laptop successfully connected wirelessly to internet.
One other question though - at the moment the router/modem (NETGEAR DG834G)is 'on' permanently - does this mean we are permanently 'connected' to the internet as well?
I ask as I'm not sure how secure we are if this is the case. I've followed the security instructions during setup of router/modem, do I need additional security to be better protected?
That's three questions I think!
Thanks in advance for any replies.
