Router Help
|
Can anyone help, we need to get a router for our flat. we have two laptops that have wireles connections and one that doesnt and a desktop pc. we have just signed up to virgin broadband and need to sort something out.
ive done a bit of reseach and found that we can get a wireless one that has ports in the back that we can use for the other laptop and desktop. however there were some routers that had internal modems and some that didnt and were ethernet (???), or would wireless cards be the go?
can anyone suggest how i proceed, and recommend what product to get.
Cheers,

Basically you will need an ADSL modem router, such as this one
You will need an RJ 11 interface in order to connect to the telephone line and your virgin brodband

Recommend - Netgear DG834G, router with built in modem.
Tried both Belkin (lousy support from Americans-though a guy did ring back a couple of days too later) and Linksys (again poor support, a tech guy suggested downloading a firmware patch from the net, without the router working???).
